Gaude Maria virgo by Heinrich Isaac — Lyrics
Gaude Maria Virgo, cunctas haereses sola interemisti.
Quae Gabrielis archangeli dictis, credidisti.
Dum Virgo Deum et hominem genuisti:
et post partum Virgo inviolata permansisti.
Dei genitrix, intercede pro nobis.

About Gaude Maria virgo
This setting of the Marian antiphon Gaude Maria Virgo, celebrating Mary's role in the defeat of heresy and her perpetual virginity, is by the Franco-Flemish composer Heinrich Isaac. The text, a prayer for intercession, finds a powerful expression in this twoness choral work. Isaac's music masterfully conveys the solemnity and exultation of the liturgical text, making it a fitting choice for services during Marian feasts or any occasion honoring the Mother of God. Its clear structure and direct musical language ensure its accessibility for choirs seeking profound yet manageable sacred repertoire.
