alleluia.

About Assumpta est Maria
Oreste Ravanello's Assumpta est Maria for SSA choir sets a Latin text celebrating the Assumption of Mary. The music opens with a jubilant Alleluia, reflecting the joyful reaction of the angels described in the text. The second part of the text speaks of Mary being taken to her heavenly chamber to sit with the King of Kings. Ravanello's setting embraces the exultant nature of this sacred occasion, making it a fitting choice for a motet or offertory hymn. The SSA voicing allows for a rich yet agile texture, ideal for conveying the text's message of divine glory and heavenly joy.
