Old Roman chant - Hec Dies, quam fecit Dominus

[2008nesk]

Qued? Quad? Quo Vadis Domino? Respectorum... Pace... Seculorum....

[mszegedy]

But I thought "diēs" was masculine?

[mszegedy]

"This day, which the Lord hath made…"

[mackbee628]

This is still sung in the traditional Roman Rite on Easter Sunday. It is the Gradual and Sequence between the Epistle and the Gospel. I have never heard it sung like this, and this is magnificent! This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it!

@mackbee628 This is how in the Eastern Orthodox church sing :) Orthodoxy is the only church which keeps the tradition alive :)

[mackbee628]

@religionorthodox There's a few of us Romans who are fighting to keep the Tradition alive as well, despite what Vatican II and the NOpes have done to it since then! You probably have not heard of the Traditionalist Catholic movement. We've resisted the changes in our Church for the last 40 years! A blessed Septuagesimatide and Great Lent to you!

@mackbee628 Greetings from France. I'm Traditionalist Catholic sedevacantist, the true catholic faith will win!!!

[mackbee628]

@Celte1988 Greetings from the United States!  You can see that I am also a sedevacantist. In the end, the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph! IC XC NIKA!

praise be on to the name of the lord we all sin no body is perfect i still stand strong with my faith knowing that jesus is still on my side in his name i pray lord help us all im sorry have mercy

[taliayu]

this is greek orthodox

[Lysandros]

@taliayu It sounds like it, but it is sung in Latin, it is a chant from the time Rome was united with the Holy Church.

[acerb45666555]

@taliayu .....i heard another Roman chant that sounded like Serb style! not Greek style, but clearly Serbian vocal style!

[Celte1988]

@acerb45666555 The Romans cannot ''copy'' the serb style because they are older christians than serbs!!! The roman catholic orthodoxy has more history! 

[Winaska]

the word is Haec, not Hec

[cydoemusz]

@Winaska In medieval latin it could be Hec as well. Just as terrae could be terre, laetitia - letitia etc. It's a bit messy indeed :)

[Gunnarr123abc]

@Winaska and also in the description it is written "'H(a)ec Dies, quam fecit Dominus'"

[poblachtacha]

@Armadistic

Yes, at one point the music of both parts of the church was more or less stylistically the same.

In the East it would have been in Greek instead of Latin, though, I think.

sublime

[Winaska]

unfortunately not on iTunes!...darn!

[Winaska]

AWESOME! its really interesting because the high medieval gregorian chant version can be heard in this, but is is saturated in the more ancient, almost byzantine sounding pitches and tones, etc, etc...beautiful!

I have finally found a Chant uploader, thank you so much, this is helping me everyday.

[blackmagd]

Great & absolutely beautiful!! THANKS a lot!

[hiptal67]

I love it!..so powerful!..thanks for posting!

[imatrOlda]

@Lysandros Thanks a lot! I agree that its sad that the ison totally disappeared in West. The symbolical value of the chants without ison is in my oppinion lower.

[ahhc07]

Beautiful rendition! Thank you for posting this Chant!

[imatrOlda]

Was ison usual also in the western tradition ? What period?

[Lysandros]

@imatrOlda Basically in the tradition anterior to the Gregorian chants, which we call old Roman, as well as some other chants up to, roughly, the 13th century. Then the ison virtually disappears from Western chants, quite sadly I think.

[MrAntiReligiones]

The quality is not good of some of your last videos, incluying this.

Can you put the lyrics please???

[ammazzamoro]

@MrAntiReligiones

Graduale. Ps. 117, 24 et 1.

Hæc dies, quam fecit Dóminus: exsultémus

et lætémur in ea.

℣. Confitémini Dómino, quóniam

bonus: quóniam in sǽculum misericórdia

ejus.

Allelúja, allelúja.

℣. 1. Cor. 5, 7.

Pascha nostrum immolátus est Christus.
