About Haec dies
This stirring SATB setting of the Latin text Haec dies is ideal for Eastertide services. The motet jubilantly proclaims the joy of the Lord's Day, urging the faithful to rejoice and be glad. Zelenka's music captures the exultant spirit of the occasion, with the text emphasizing God's unending mercy. The motet draws on scripture from the Easter celebrations, including verses for Easter Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, reflecting on Christ's sacrifice and the redemption of His people. It offers a powerful musical expression of the Easter message for congregational singing or concert performance.
