Beata Dei genitrix

This setting of a Latin text opens with a meditation on the Blessed Mother of God, Mary, whose purity remained intact as she gave birth to the Savior of the world. The choir will find rich harmonic opportunities within this sacred piece. The text continues by affirming the faith of Mary, noting that all things spoken to her by the Lord have come to pass. The responsory, repeating the central message of the Incarnation, provides a powerful conclusion to this devotional work for SATB choir.
