Haec dies quam fecit Dominus - Dies ist der Tag, den Gott gemacht by Christoph Dalitz — Lyrics
About Haec dies quam fecit Dominus - Dies ist der Tag, den Gott gemacht
Christoph Dalitz sets the triumphant Easter text Haec dies quam fecit Dominus, "This is the day that the Lord has made," to music for ATB and SATB voices. The Latin words, drawn from Psalm 117, celebrate God's divine work and call for rejoicing. The motet moves between the original Latin and a German translation, emphasizing the profound joy and divine mercy of the Easter season. The text proclaims the goodness and everlasting mercy of the Lord, proclaiming Christ's sacrifice and the redemption of his people. Dalitz's setting is a powerful affirmation of the Easter message, suitable for services and concerts celebrating the resurrection.
