About Haec dies
This setting of Haec dies is by an anonymous composer, an antiphon with a text traditionally associated with Easter. The Latin lyrics speak of the great joy and gladness brought by this day, the day the Lord has made. The composer’s SATB voicing creates a rich texture, particularly effective in the jubilant Alleluia passages. The verses provided offer further opportunities for musical expression, with texts celebrating God's goodness and mercy, and the redemption of His people, suitable for use throughout the Easter Octave.
