Dies Natalis is a cantata for solo voice and string orchestra. The opening introductory orchestral movement is followed by four movements for accompanied voice in which Finzi set mystical texts by the seventeenth-century English poet Thomas Traherne (1636/37–1674). Finzi selected three of Traherne's poems, prefaced by prose drawn from the opening three sections of the Third Century in Centuries of Meditations. Written from 1938–1939, the score was published in 1946.[2] Finzi conducted the work at the Three Choirs Festival in 1946.

The work is in five movements:

  1. "Intrada"
  2. "Rhapsody" (Recitativo stromentato)
  3. "The Rapture" (Danza)
  4. "Wonder" (Arioso)
  5. "The Salutation" (Aria)
