About Haec dies quam fecit Dominus
This exultant setting of the Easter sequence Haec dies quam fecit Dominus by Felice Anerio is ideal for the Easter season. The text, a joyful proclamation of the Lord's day, calls for immense gladness and celebration, perfectly captured by the composer's setting. Anerio uses a grand nine-part choir (SATB.SATB.SATB) to convey the overwhelming message of the Resurrection. The Latin text is drawn from the responsories for Easter Sunday and its Octave, reflecting the extended celebration of Christ's triumph over death. This powerful motet offers a rich sonic experience, ideal for a major festival.
