Dialogo Peccator & Maria by Giovanni Battista Riccio — Lyrics
(P) Heu mihi succurre quæso animæ meæ
Virgo pia Sancta Mater Maria
(M) Quid clamas fili?
Cur ploras peccator
Quid factum est animæ tuæ dilecti mi?
(P) Venit inimicus & supplantavit me
Ideo instabilis facta est anima mea
Cecidit in manum de qua surgere non potero
(M) Ne timeas a facie eius quia ego tecum sum
Audi tantum vocem meam
(P) Loquere Maria afflictorum consolatrix
Ecce audi(t?) servus tuus
(M) Ego rogabo pro te filium
Tu Mariam invoca

About Dialogo Peccator & Maria
This sacred work in Latin presents a poignant dialogue between a sinner and the Virgin Mary. The sinner cries out for help, lamenting their fallen state and fear of their enemy. Mary responds with comfort, assuring the sinner of her presence and intercession. The text explores themes of repentance, divine mercy, and the role of Mary as advocate and comforter of the afflicted. The dialogue builds as the sinner implores Mary to intercede on their behalf with her son, and Mary promises to pray for them. This piece for two voices, TB, offers a dramatic and devotional exploration of a soul seeking salvation through Marian devotion.
