About Hodie Beata Virgo Maria
Richard Sheppard's Hodie Beata Virgo Maria is a sacred motet for SATB choir, sung in Latin. The text describes the presentation of the baby Jesus in the temple, Simeon's acceptance of him into his arms, and his blessing of God. The setting is likely to be expressive of the joy and reverence inherent in this biblical narrative. This piece is suitable for services or concerts seeking a reflective yet uplifting choral work. The Latin text and its devotional subject matter firmly place it within the tradition of sacred choral music.
