About Alma Redemptoris II
This setting of the Marian votive antiphon Alma Redemptoris Mater is ideal for Advent and Christmastide services. Samuel Webbe provides a lyrical and flowing melody for the two sopranos, with a rich harmonic accompaniment supporting the Latin text. The work captures the devotion and prayerful spirit of the antiphon, calling upon the Mother of the Redeemer, the gate of heaven and star of the sea, to aid her people. It is a fitting choice for a choir seeking a beautiful and manageable piece of sacred repertoire for the Marian season.
