Congratulamini mihi - Contremuerunt omnia

Guillaume Le Heurteur composed this sacred motet for SATB voices, setting a Latin text that draws from Marian antiphons. The music opens with an invitation to rejoice with the Virgin Mary, who proclaims her joy at pleasing God and giving birth to the Son of God and man. She recounts how all generations will call her blessed, recognizing God's humble servant. The text then shifts to her personal experience of the Annunciation, describing the trembling of her limbs as the divine birth was announced and the Holy Spirit entered her. The motet explores the profound mystery of the Incarnation through its expressive Latin words and rich choral harmonies.
