The Finnish song collection Piae Cantiones, from 1582, included dozens of medieval songs with Latin texts, most of them overtly religious, including the Christmas carols “Good King Wenceslas,” “Good Christian Men, Rejoice,” and “On This Day, Earth Shall Ring.” The carols in Piae Cantiones weren’t entirely new—many of them were from earlier centuries and were probably brought to Finland from Central Europe. “On This Day” (or “Personent hodie” in the original Latin) uses, for example, a melody already known in Germany in 1360, and its text was adapted from a 12th- century song in honor of St. Nicholas. “Personent hodie” was translated into English by Jane M. Joseph, an English composer working in the early 20th century who was a student and, later, colleague of Gustav Holst. For The Tabernacle Choir’s 2021 Christmas concert, Mack Wilberg arranged “On This Day, Earth Shall Ring” into a dramatic processional that preserves the renaissance reverence of the original.
