Gaude Maria virgo by Robert Johnson — 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
Robert Johnson composed this setting of the Marian votive antiphon Gaude Maria virgo for four-part men's voices (ATTB). The text, in Latin, directly addresses the Virgin Mary, celebrating her unique role in overcoming heresy through her faith and her perpetual virginity. The composer's setting follows the traditional Latin text, focusing on Mary's divine motherhood and her intercession for us all. This sacred work offers a powerful reflection on Marian theology, suitable for liturgical settings or as a reflective concert piece.
