About Alma Redemptoris
Samuel Webbe's Alma Redemptoris is a sacred setting of a traditional Marian votive antiphon. Sung in Latin, this work for SATB choir draws on a text that addresses the Virgin Mary as the 'Mother of the Redeemer', the 'gate of heaven', and the 'star of the sea'. It implores her aid for a people struggling to rise from sin, recalling her miraculous conception of Christ while remaining a virgin. Webbe's composition offers a devotional response to the profound theological themes of this ancient prayer, making it a fitting choice for services and concerts alike.
