About Angelus
This SATB anthem in Latin is ideal for Marian feasts or services during Advent and Christmastide. Battmann sets the Annunciation narrative from the Gospel of Luke, including the angelic salutation Ave Maria gratia plena. The text describes the angel's announcement to Mary, her acceptance of God's will, and the Incarnation. The music unfolds this profound story, moving from the angel's message to the moment of the Word made flesh. Its sacred nature and clear textual progression make it a fitting choice for liturgical occasions marking the beginning of Christ's earthly journey.
