Congaudent angelorum II by Anonymous — Lyrics
Congaudent angelorum chori
gloriosae virgini.
Quae sine virili
commixtione genuit.
Filium qui suo mundum
cruore medicat.
Nam ipsa laetatur
quod caeli iam conspicatur principem.
In terris cui quondam sugendas
virgo mamillas praebuit.
Quam celebris angelis
Maria Iesu mater creditur.
Qui filii illius debitos
se cognoscunt famulos
Qua gloria in caelis
ista virgo colitur
quae Domino caeli
praebuit hospitium
sui sanctissimi corporis.
Quam splendida polo
stella maris rutilat

About Congaudent angelorum II
This sequence hymn would be sung at Marian feasts, celebrating her queenship of Heaven. The text rejoices in the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus, seen by angels as the Queen of Heaven. The SAA voicing brings a bright, clear sound to this Latin text, which describes Mary as the star of the sea, shining in the heavens, and the one who gave hospitality to the Lord of Heaven. She is celebrated by prophets and angels alike, and this choir will lift their voices with the angels in song. The text emphasizes her unique role in salvation history, giving birth to Christ who redeems the world with his blood. The choir will find this piece a powerful expression of Marian devotion.
