Beata es virgo Maria by Rinaldo del Mel — 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
This beautiful SATTB motet in Latin sets a Marian text, celebrating the Virgin Mary as the Mother of God. It is particularly suited for occasions honouring Mary, such as feasts within the Marian cycle or services for the Blessed Virgin Mary. The text expresses the unique blessedness of Mary, acknowledging her role as the bearer of Christ, the Creator of the world, and her perpetual virginity. It also includes a verse from the Ave Maria. Rinaldo del Mel crafts rich harmonies for this sacred motet, making it a significant addition to a choir’s repertoire for liturgical settings.
