In honore matris Dei by Eustache Barbion — Lyrics
In honore matris Dei
et ejus memoria decantemus omnes ei:
Ave plena gratia quae pro salute electa
humanae propaginis virgo mater es effecta Dei
sic et hominis super caeloque assumpta
juxta Dei dexteram teque venerantur

About In honore matris Dei
Eustache Barbion's motet In honore matris Dei is a devotional setting for SATTB voices in Latin. The text, a Marian antiphon, praises Mary as the Mother of God, full of grace and chosen for the salvation of humanity. It recalls her virginal conception, her assumption into heaven, and her position at God's right hand, venerated by all. The singers are invited to remember her virtues and ask for her aid, concluding with a plea to the clement, pious, and sweet Maria. This is a rich and sonorous setting of a significant text, suitable for services or concerts.
