About Haec dies
Caspar Ett's Haec dies is a jubilant setting of the Easter sequence text, expressing profound joy and thanksgiving for the Resurrection. The opening words, "This is the day which the Lord hath made: let us rejoice and be glad in it, alleluia," immediately establish a tone of exultation, perfect for the Easter season. The composer builds upon this foundation, setting the verses that follow with musical language that mirrors the liturgical significance and celebratory nature of the Easter octave. This motet for SATB choir in Latin is a powerful testament to the faith and devotion of its era, offering a vibrant musical experience that resonates with the Easter message of new life and divine mercy. Its grand scope and expressive harmonies make it a fitting choice for services and concerts during this important Christian festival.
