Fulgens iubar ecclesiae Dei - Puerpera pura parens by Guillaume Dufay — Lyrics
I.
1. Fulgens iubar ecclesiæ Dei,
Peccatorum salus promptissima,
Si precibus quibuscumque flecti
Queas, nobis da, virgo beata,
Ut omnes qui tuæ mysteria
Purificationis colimus
Post temporis hujus curricua
sublimemur sanctorum sedibus.
2. Quæ semine viri peperis set,
Mulierem lex quodndam cogebat,
Ut ad templum purganda veniret
Partum ferenz; lex hæc
non urgebat Mariam, quæ virum
non noverat, Illa tamen pro nobis omnibus
Legem tulit, ut nos quos amabat
Sublimemur sanctorum sedibus.
3. Quod purgari non indignaverit,
Hujus festo monstrat ecclesia
Per cereum, quem tunc quisque tenet
Luce enim qua fulget candela,
Per splendorem vitæ in Maria

About Fulgens iubar ecclesiae Dei - Puerpera pura parens
Guillaume Dufay's motet Fulgens iubar ecclesiae Dei - Puerpera pura parens is a sacred work for SATT voices, sung in Latin. The text speaks of the Blessed Virgin Mary as the shining light and ready salvation of God's church, imploring her intercession for sinners. It reflects on the Purification of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple, noting how the Mosaic law for purification after childbirth did not apply to Mary. The motet uses this event to praise her purity and to pray for elevation to the seats of the saints. This piece would be suitable for services or concerts during the season of Candlemas or Marian feasts.
