This piece makes feasts festive. The refrain begins in Latin, “Salve festa dies!” and concludes, “On this day the Lord has acted, we will rejoice and be glad in it!” Before concluding with a well-developed polyphonic alleluia and repeated refrain, the choir chants one of five verses: Christmas, Epiphany, Easter, Ascension, or Pentecost. 8 Handbells or Orchestral Bells, percussion part is for Gong or Cymbal.
One of those that sells year after year.
