Beata viscera 2024 by Mariano Garau — Lyrics
Beata viscera Mariae Virginis,
quae portaverunt aeterni Patris Filium; [Alleluia.]
et beata ubera, quæ lactaverunt Christum Dominum:
qui hodie pro salute mundi de Virgine nasci dignatus est.

About Beata viscera 2024
The words of Beata viscera praise the blessed womb of the Virgin Mary, which carried the Son of the Eternal Father and nursed Christ the Lord. The text celebrates his birth for the salvation of the world. This setting for SATB voices is sung in Latin, a language long associated with sacred music. The composer Mariano Garau draws upon the profound spiritual meaning of the text, with a central verse proclaiming that a holy day has dawned for us to adore the Lord. A further verse, suitable for communion, is drawn from Psalm 44, speaking of the heart overflowing with good words.
