O filii et filiae is a hymn celebrating Easter. It was written by Jean Tisserand, O.F.M. (d. 1494) John Mason Neale wrote, "It is scarcely possible for any one, not acquainted with the melody, to imagine the jubilant effect of the triumphant Alleluia attached to apparently less important circumstances of the Resurrection. It seems to speak of the majesty of that event, the smallest portions of which are worthy to be so chronicled."
