Ave Virgo Sanctissima

This beautiful Marian antiphon is ideal for liturgical settings during feasts of the Blessed Virgin Mary, or for general devotional occasions. The text, a series of lyrical praises to the Virgin, addresses her as "holiest Virgin," "most merciful Mother of God," "brightest star of the sea," and "ever glorious." It continues with comparisons to a precious pearl, a lily, and a rose in terms of her beauty, radiance, and fragrance. Óscar Manuel Paredes Grau sets this familiar Latin text for two equal voices, creating a serene and prayerful atmosphere that perfectly complements the devotional nature of the words. The music is written on the staff, making it accessible for choirs looking to expand their Marian repertoire.
