Der Tag der ist so Freudenreich á 4,2,3 and 5 voices by Orlando di Lasso — Lyrics
About Der Tag der ist so Freudenreich á 4,2,3 and 5 voices
This joyful German carol celebrates the Nativity, a moment of profound spiritual significance. Orlando di Lasso crafts a rich, varied texture for this work, offering multiple voicing options for SATB choir, allowing directors to tailor the performance to their ensemble's strengths. The text speaks of the singular grace of the Virgin Mary, chosen to bear God's son, and the miraculous birth that brings salvation to all humanity. It compares the birth to sunlight passing through glass, pure and unblemished, offering a metaphor for divine presence. This piece is ideal for Christmas services and concerts, bringing a message of hope and solace to the listener.
