About Ecce dies veniunt
This motet by Adam Gumpelzhaimer sets a significant Latin text from Jeremiah. Ecce dies veniunt, translating to Behold, the days are coming, speaks of a righteous king who will reign with wisdom, justice, and righteousness. The prophecy foretells the coming of a new David, a king whose name will be called 'The Lord our righteousness'. The composer has crafted this for double SATB choir, offering a rich and full sonority to convey the grandeur of the prophecy. The sacred text lends itself to liturgical settings, particularly during seasons of anticipation and hope, providing a powerful musical expression of divine promise.
