About Alleluia Haec dies a 6
Andrea Rota's Alleluia Haec dies is a substantial motet for six voices (SAATBB), employing the Latin text of the Easter season. The work opens with the jubilant "This is the day that the Lord hath made: let us rejoice and be glad in it, alleluia," a central theme of Eastertide. Rota sets the verses of the Mass for Easter Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, drawing from Psalm 117 and other biblical sources that celebrate Christ's resurrection and God's enduring mercy. The composer's six-part writing allows for rich harmonic textures and contrapuntal interplay, ideal for celebrating the most significant feast in the Christian calendar. This motet is a powerful liturgical statement.
