In tua memoria

This sacred motet for STB voices, In tua memoria, draws on a Marian text expressing devotion to the Virgin Mother. The Latin lyrics speak of seeking refuge in her memory and grace, appealing to her as a source of hope and salvation. The composer Arnold de Lantins, active in the first half of the 15th century, was a prolific writer of both sacred and secular music. This motet would be suitable for occasions honouring Mary, particularly within the liturgical year. The intimate STB voicing allows for clear enunciation of the text and sensitive musical expression of its devotional sentiments.
