Ecce dies venient by Leonhard Paminger — Lyrics
Ecce dies venient dicit Dominus et suscitabo David germen justum:
et regnabit rex et sapiens erit et faciet judicium et justitiam in terra.
Et hoc est nomen quod vocabunt eum: Dominus justus noster.

About Ecce dies venient
Leonhard Paminger, a Renaissance composer from the Holy Roman Empire, crafted this sacred responsory for SATB choir. The Latin text is drawn from the prophet Jeremiah, foretelling the coming of a just king, a descendant of David who will reign wisely and bring justice to the land. The music is set to a syllabic and melismatic style that highlights the text's hopeful message of salvation and confident dwelling for Judah and Israel. This responsory would serve as a powerful and uplifting moment within a liturgical setting.
