Hic est dies by Carlotta Ferrari — Lyrics
About Hic est dies
This is a powerful SATB setting of a Latin text for choir. The words, a hymn of praise, reflect on the cleansing power of Christ's blood and his resurrection. The text speaks of the divine light of this sacred day, washing away the world's sins, restoring faith, and bringing sight to the blind. It describes how the forgiveness offered by Christ liberates from fear and how through faith, even a repentant thief can gain entry to the Kingdom of God. The composer Carlotta Ferrari crafts a musical setting that responds to these profound theological ideas. The music is suited for services during Eastertide or other occasions where the themes of redemption and resurrection are central.
