Eya dulcis adque vernans rosa by Johannis Tapissier — Lyrics
First voice:
Eya dulcis adque vernans rosa,
virgo placens, puella formosa,
dei mater valde gloriosa,
spira preces voce clamorosa.
O spes nostra, multum indigemus,
plorat Roma omnis, nos rigemus;
"Tolle scisma!" ad te dirigimus,
corda laudes tibi portigimus.
Nunc lilium alti regiminis,
pressum telis multi gravaminis,
te postulat, uber subaminis,
sis lilio rosa solaminis.
Salus nostra, nunc est mali hora,
populorum fletus rigant ora;
nostris pacem periodis rora,
quod protuis semper clementiora.

About Eya dulcis adque vernans rosa
Johannis Tapissier's Eya dulcis adque vernans rosa is a sacred motet for two sopranos (AA). The Latin text is a fervent plea to the Virgin Mary, addressing her as a beautiful and glorious mother of God, a source of hope, and a lily of solace. The lyrics express the sorrow of Rome and the faithful, urgently asking for intercession to end division and bring peace. The motet unfolds with a direct and compelling address to Mary, highlighting her role as an advocate and empress of glory. The composer employs a contrapuntal texture that amplifies the devotional intensity of the text, creating a powerful expression of faith and supplication.
