Ave gloriosa virginum regina by Anonymous — Lyrics
Ave, gloriosa virginum regina,
vitis generosa, vite medicina,
clementie resina.
Ave, copiosa gratie piscina,
carnis maculosa munda
munda nos sentina,
munditie cortina.
Claritate radiosa stella matutina,
brevitate legis glossa,
per te lex divina
irradiat doctrina.
Venustate vernans rosa,
sine culpe spina,
caritate viscerosa,
aurem huc inclina,
nos serves a ruina.
Cedrus puditie,
cypressus puritatis,

About Ave gloriosa virginum regina
This setting of Ave gloriosa virginum regina unfolds with a rich SATTB texture, its voices weaving together to create a devotional soundscape. The composer remains anonymous, but the music speaks with a clear and resonant voice. The Latin text is a Marian antiphon, addressing the Virgin Mary with a litany of exalted titles, comparing her to a noble vine, a fount of grace, a morning star, and a fragrant rose, among many other potent images. The music reflects the solemnity and beauty of these praises, offering a moving devotional experience suitable for evening services or special occasions.
