Anna mater matris Christi

This votive antiphon is a prayer to Saint Anne, the mother of the Virgin Mary. The text expresses devotion to her, asking for her consideration and intercession. It recalls how she nursed Mary and implores her to remember the faithful during their earthly exile, looking forward to a heavenly reunion. The flowing melodic lines of this setting for STTT are woven together in a rich, devotional texture, reflecting the reverent nature of the Latin text. John Plummer's sacred composition offers a deeply spiritual experience for both choir and listener.
