In illa die by Gierolamo Lambardi — Lyrics
About In illa die
Girolamo Lambardi's setting of In illa die is a sacred work for SATB choir in Latin. It is an antiphon, a genre of liturgical plainchant, here presented with polyphonic setting. The text is biblical, drawing from the Book of Joel, and speaks of a future time of abundance when the mountains will drip with sweetness and the hills will flow with milk and honey, all culminating in the joyful exclamation of Alleluia. Lambardi's composition aims to capture the prophetic and celebratory nature of this ancient text, offering a rich harmonic and contrapuntal experience for the choir and listener alike. This setting provides a devotional and musically engaging exploration of eschatological hope.
