Ave Maria by Michael des Buissons — Lyrics
Ave Maria gratia plena, Dominus tecum.
Spiritus Sanctus superveniet in te, superveniet in te
et virtus altissimi obumbrabit tibi.
Quod enim ex te nascetur sanctum,
vocabitur filius Dei.

About Ave Maria
Michael des Buissons' Ave Maria is a sacred motet for SATTB voices in Latin. The music opens with a flowing interplay between the voices, building a sense of serene contemplation. The composer vividly portrays the Annunciation narrative from the Gospel of Luke. The text, beginning with the angel's greeting, unfolds the miraculous conception and the angel's explanation to Mary. Des Buissons' setting captures the profound awe and divine mystery of this pivotal moment in Christian theology, offering a rich and devotional experience for both choir and listeners.
