About Alma Redemptoris Mater II a 4
This setting of the Marian votive antiphon Alma Redemptoris Mater is by Gregor Aichinger, a German composer of the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods. Sung in Latin, it is scored for four voices in SSAATTBB. Aichinger’s music brings to life the text’s devotional imagery: the Mother of the Redeemer, the gate of heaven, the star of the sea, who hears the pleas of her people and shows mercy to sinners. The piece would be appropriate for services during Advent and Christmas, or for Marian devotions at any time of year.
