5 Marienlieder by Joseph Gregor Zangl — Lyrics
About 5 Marienlieder
These five Marian songs by Joseph Gregor Zangl offer a devotional cycle suitable for services or concerts honouring the Virgin Mary. Sung in German, the Lieder are set for SATB choir, with the composer’s setting of the first song’s text a particularly heartfelt plea for Mary’s protection. He describes her as a sweet Queen, whose countenance is a source of divine light, and her embrace of the Christ child a solace from all suffering. The text continues to explore Mary’s maternal role, her merciful intercession for sinners, and her radiant glory. These sacred songs would provide a devotional and musically satisfying addition to a choir’s repertoire, especially during Marian feasts.
