Ave domina mea by Jean de La Fage — Lyrics
Ave domina mea sancta Maria mater Dei,
regina caeli, porta paradisi, singularis et pura,
tu es virgo, tu concepisti Iesum sine peccato,
tu peperisti creatorem et salvatorem mundi

About Ave domina mea
This sacred motet sets a Latin text in praise of the Virgin Mary, addressing her as Queen of Heaven and Mother of God. The choir is asked to sing SATB, and the composer Jean de La Fage crafts a devotional setting that reflects the deep reverence for Mary expressed in the words. The text speaks of her purity and her role as the mother of Jesus, the creator and savior of the world, and asks for her intercession for the singer's sins and liberation from evil.
