Dies sanctificatus illuxit nobis:
Venite gentes, et adorate Dominum.

About Alleluja. Dies sanctificatus
Orlando di Lasso’s motet Alleluja. Dies sanctificatus sets a Latin text for five voices (SATTB). The music unfolds the exultant message of the original Gregorian chant for Christmas Day, announcing the coming of light upon the earth and proclaiming the joy of this new day. Lasso’s setting, while drawing on the plainsong tradition, is rich with the expressive polyphony characteristic of the late Renaissance. The composer masterfully shapes the text, conveying both the sacred solemnity and the sheer jubilation of the Easter and Christmas acclamation 'Dies sanctificatus'.
