About Haec dies
Franz Xaver Haberl's Haec Dies is a motet for TTBB choir setting a Latin text for Eastertide. The music opens with a sense of jubilant exultation, reflecting the 'rejoice and be glad' sentiment of the opening incipit, Haec dies quam fecit Dominus. Haberl's setting masterfully builds on this opening, exploring the rich harmonies available to the male-voice ensemble. The motet expands on the liturgical texts for Easter Sunday and its accompanying days, focusing on God's goodness and the Resurrection. It offers a powerful and celebratory musical expression of the Paschal mystery.
