Ave gratia plena a 6 by Francesco Bianciardi — Lyrics
Ave [Maria], gratia plena, Dominus tecum;
Quae est ista salutatio,
Ne timeas Maria, invenisti [enim] gratiam apud Deum,
Ecce concipies [in utero] et paries Filium Dei.
Quomodo fiet istud? Quoniam virum non conosco,

About Ave gratia plena a 6
This motet for SSATTB voices, Ave gratia plena a 6, sets a Latin text from the Annunciation. Francesco Bianciardi draws on the Magnificat and the Gospel of Luke to express the wonder and acceptance of Mary's divine calling. The music would suit a service in Advent or at Marian feasts, depicting the angelic salutation, Mary's humble obedience, and the promise of Christ's eternal reign. The rich six-part writing allows for a full, resonant sound, ideal for a motet intended to fill a sacred space with devotional music.
