Haec Est Dies

This Is The Day Which The Lord Hath Made-Haec Dies (This is the day which the Lord hath made) is a lively and rhythmic piece. It was commissioned by the choir of Clare College Cambridge and has recently been recorded by them on the Harmonia Mundi label. It sets a joyful Latin text suitable for Eastertide and with very little divisi is within the reach of proficient choirs. For SATB with Organ. Part of Faber Music’s Choral Signature Series.

For Trumpet And Piano-This Sonata by John McCabe was commissioned by Simon Debruslais and derives its underlying material from William Byrd’s motet 'Haec Dies' from his 1591 collection of Cantiones Sacrae. An outline of the motet is “hidden” within the texture of the music but never stated directly. The Sonata employs that beautiful instrument the Flugelhorn (beloved of Vaughan Williams and Miles Davis) for the first two main sections switching to D Trumpet (familiar from Baroque music) for the final part which is faster than the earlier ones. The first section is moderately-paced and obsessively circles around particular intervals notably parallel ornear-parallel fifths (possibly my revenge on the academic world). The middle part of the work is slow framed by very brief scherzando trio-like sections. The piece lasts about 17 minutes.

Psalm 117-A nice edition of a lesser-known work of the 16th century. Haec Est Dies is written for two SATB choirs but the vocal writing is simple enough to work for younger high school choirs who are ready for the challenge. Amanda Quist Choral Series.

Collection-William Byrd (c.1540-1623) is one of the giants of the English Renaissance composing sacred polyphony for both Anglican and Catholic rites. This collection provides well-edited clean editions at an excellent value and includes: Exsurge Domine; Haec Dies; Laudibus in sanctis; Praise Our Lord All Ye Gentiles; Sing Joyfully.
