About Alta Reyna soberana
This Spanish villancico paints a scene of veneration for the Virgin Mary. The text exalts her as the 'sovereign Queen' alone worthy of bearing the Son of God, becoming His mother and our advocate. It speaks of her creation before time by the Eternal Father, destined to be the source of all good. The music is set for SATB choir. The genre is sacred, with the villancico form common in Spain and its colonies, often used for religious themes.
