About Dixit Maria ad Angelum
This Sacred motet by Hans Leo Hassler sets the Annunciation dialogue between the Angel Gabriel and Mary. Sung in Latin, the text recounts the angel's message and Mary's humble acceptance: 'Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.' Hassler's SATB setting masterfully portrays the sacred conversation, offering a rich harmonic language suitable for liturgical occasions during Marian feasts or Advent. The piece reflects the devotional spirit of the late Renaissance, showcasing clear contrapuntal lines within a devotional framework.
