Beata es virgo Maria by Wilhelm Meyer Lutz — 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 SATB motet in Latin by Wilhelm Meyer Lutz opens with a sense of fervent devotion. The composer crafts a rich, resonant soundscape, with the voices weaving together to create moments of both power and tenderness. The text, drawn from Marian antiphons, celebrates the Virgin Mary's unique role as the Mother of God and her eternal virginity. It recounts her blessedness for believing God's word, her role in bringing forth the Saviour, and her exalted position among the choirs of angels. The music vividly portrays the awe and reverence due to the Mother of the Creator, with the 'Alleluia' sections providing moments of radiant praise.
