Drei lateinische Hymnen, Op. 96 by Josef Rheinberger — Lyrics
I.
Regina coeli laetare, alleluja.
Quia quem meruisti portare, resurrexit, alleluja.
II.
Adoramus Te Christe
et benedicimus Tibi, quia per crucem Tuam redemisti mundum,
super omnia ligna cedrorum, Tu sola excelsior, in qua vita mundi percipit,
Tu sola excelsior, Tu sola excelsior, in qua vita mundi perpendit,

About Drei lateinische Hymnen, Op. 96
Josef Rheinberger’s setting of three Latin hymns offers a rich exploration of Marian devotion and Christological praise for SSA choir. The first hymn, Regina caeli, rejoices in the Resurrection of Christ, a traditional Easter antiphon. The second, Adoramus Te Christe, is a profound act of adoration directed towards Christ on the cross, acknowledging His redemptive sacrifice for the world. The final hymn, Ave vivens hostia, venerates the living host as the source of truth, life, and infinite glory to the Father, and the foundation of the Church. These motets are a powerful testament to sacred liturgical texts, ideal for services or concerts seeking devotional depth.
