Jesu corona Virginum by Delfino Thermignon — Lyrics
Jesu corona virginum,
quem mater illa concipit
quæ sola virgo parturit,
hæc vota clemens accipe.
Qui pascis inter lilia,
septus choreis virginum,
sponsus decorus gloria, [alt. sponsas decorans]
sponsisque reddens præmia.
Quocumque pergis [tendis], virgines
sequuntur, atque laudibus

About Jesu corona Virginum
A hymn for virgins, Jesu corona Virginum is sung during offices, likely at times of festival. Its text praises Jesus as the crown of virgins, born of a virgin mother, who leads his chosen companions. Delfino Thermignon sets this sacred Latin text for SSA voices. The music follows the devotional words, with the soaring lines of the final verse offering glory to God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This is a devotional setting suitable for liturgical occasions and choral concerts alike.
