About Assumpta est Maria
Francesco Croatti's Assumpta est Maria is written for double choir (SATB.ATTB), setting a rich liturgical text in Latin. The music opens with a sense of grandeur, reflecting the solemnity of the feast of the Assumption. The text speaks of Mary's bodily ascension into heaven, and the rejoicing of the angels as they praise and bless the Lord. The second part of the text describes Mary being taken to the heavenly chamber, where the King of Kings sits on a starry throne, emphasizing her exalted status. This motet offers a powerful and resplendent musical setting, ideal for services celebrating the Virgin Mary.
