About Assumpta est Maria
This motet is ideal for Marian feast days, such as the Assumption. Gregor Aichinger's SSA setting of the Latin text Assumpta est Maria captures the joy of Mary's ascension into heaven. The angels rejoice and praise the Lord, as described in the opening lines. The second part of the text further elevates the occasion, describing Mary being taken to a heavenly chamber where the King of Kings sits on a star-studded throne. Aichinger's music would provide a rich and celebratory sound for this sacred occasion, perfect for a discerning choir looking to add devotional depth to their repertoire.
