About Assumpta est Maria
Jean Conseil's motet Assumpta est Maria is a setting of a Marian antiphon, a text celebrating the Virgin Mary's assumption into heaven. The composer employs a rich STTB voicing to bring the sacred Latin words to life. The music reflects the text's jubilant message: angels rejoice, praising and blessing the Lord. The second part of the text further elaborates on Mary's ascension to a heavenly chamber, where she sits beside the King of Kings on a starry throne. Conseil's setting captures the solemnity and exaltation inherent in this significant devotional text, making it a powerful addition to any sacred choral programme.
