About Alma Redemptoris, op.17/1

This setting of the Marian votive antiphon Alma Redemptoris Mater invokes the Mother of the Redeemer as the gate of heaven and star of the sea, asking her to help a fallen people. The text describes Mary's miraculous conception and her reception of the angel Gabriel's greeting, before pleading for mercy for sinners. Ciro Grassi’s SSA setting captures the devotional nature of the Latin text. The gentle plea for assistance and the profound mystery of the incarnation are expressed through a clear and accessible musical line, making this an ideal choice for a treble choir seeking to explore sacred repertoire.
