Alleluia Per te Dei genitrix

This jubilant setting of Alleluia by Christopher Tye is ideal for Eastertide or other celebratory occasions in the church's year. The text, in Latin, praises Mary as the Mother of God, through whom life was given back to us, having conceived and borne the Savior of the world. The composer's SATB setting offers a rich sonic canvas for this profound theological statement. It is a fine example of Renaissance sacred motet writing, full of confident, flowing lines and devotional warmth, suitable for a choir seeking to expand its repertoire of unaccompanied Latin motets.
