Beata es Virgo Maria by Mikolaj Zielenski — Lyrics
;Version 1
Beata es, Virgo Maria,
quae Dominum portasti creatorem mundi:
Genuisti eum, qui te fecit,
et in aeternum permanes virgo.
Alleluia.
Ave Maria gratia plena, Dominus tecum.
;Version 2
Beata es, Virgo Maria, quae credidisti Domino;
perficientur[perfecta sunt] in te, quae dicta sunt tibi a Domino.

About Beata es Virgo Maria
Mikolaj Zielenski's motet Beata es Virgo Maria celebrates the Virgin Mary's unique role as the Mother of God. The text, in Latin, praises her for bearing the Creator of the world, for conceiving Him who made her, and for remaining eternally a virgin. It also recounts her faith in God's word, highlighting that all promises made to her have been fulfilled. The music sets these sacred themes for a large choir, divided into SSAB and ATTB sections, creating rich textures that underscore the text's profound devotional message. This work is a devotional setting of Marian texts, suitable for services and concerts.
