Ave Maria divae matris Annae by Hugh Aston — Lyrics
Ave Maria divae matris Annae filia unica
Ave Maria quae peperisti puerum virili sine semine.
Ave Maria Jesum tuum filium lactasti sacro ubere.
Ave Maria ipsum alluisti tua super genua.
Ave Maria tres vidisti magos offerentes munera.
Ave Maria Aegyptum fugiens petisti angeli per monita.

About Ave Maria divae matris Annae
Hugh Aston's Ave Maria divae matris Annae is a votive antiphon for SATB choir, sung in Latin. The text is a Marian devotion that addresses the Virgin Mary, celebrating her divine motherhood and her own role as daughter of Saint Anne. It recounts key moments from the life of Jesus, such as his birth, his presentation in the Temple, and the flight into Egypt, all viewed through Mary's experience. The text concludes with a prayer for protection and eternal glory, asking for God's grace through Mary's intercession. This motet, written in the tradition of English sacred polyphony, offers a rich harmonic language suitable for liturgical settings.
