Assunt festa jubilea a 4 by Jacob Obrecht — Lyrics
Assunt fésta jubiléa
in Maríe nunc gáudia;
tóta psállat ecclésia
devóta láudum drágmata.
Cúius sacráta víscera
Déi invísit grátia,
ut ésset vírgo grávida,
thóri vírilis néscia.

About Assunt festa jubilea a 4
This jubilant Latin hymn, Assunt festa jubilea, celebrates the Assumption of Mary. The text speaks of the joy of the Church, praising Mary whose sacred womb was visited by God's grace, making her pregnant without knowledge of man. It echoes the words of Anna, proclaiming Mary blessed for believing in the Lord. Jacob Obrecht's setting for SATB voices flows with the solemnity and exultation of the occasion, drawing the choir and listeners into a profound act of devotion and praise. The music reflects the text's fervent exclamations and the final, resounding doxology to the Holy Trinity.
