Dio vi salvi Regina / Diu vi salvi Regina by Francesco de Geronimo — Lyrics
Dio vi salvi, Regina
E Madre universale,
Per cui favor si sale
Al paradiso.
Voi siete gioia e riso
Di tutti i sconsolati,
Di tutti i tribolati
Unica speme.
A voi sospira e geme
Il nostro afflitto cuore
In un mar di dolore
E d'amarezza.
Maria, mar di dolcezza,
I vostri occhi pietosi,
Materni ed amorosi,
A noi volgete.

About Dio vi salvi Regina / Diu vi salvi Regina
This setting for three-part women's voices (SAA) of the Marian antiphon Dio vi salvi Regina is a direct and heartfelt expression of devotion. The music opens with a sense of gentle adoration, gradually building in intensity as the text unfolds. The three voices combine to create a rich texture that is both intimate and grand, reflecting the profound reverence of the Italian and Corsican lyrics. The composer Francesco de Geronimo crafts a musical prayer that mirrors the plea for Mary's intercession, seeking comfort in sorrow and ultimate salvation. The soaring melodies and harmonic progressions underscore the text's core message: Mary as the universal mother, the hope of the desolate, and the path to paradise.
