Ave Maria by Filippo Marchetti — Lyrics
Ave Maria, su te discende
quanto di grazia nel ciel risplende;
tu, fra le figlie d'Eva la elétta,
ave Maria sii benedetta.
Sia benedetto quel sacro pegno
che a noi del cielo dischiu se il regno,
che in te discese,
poichè s'accese,
il divo spirito per te d'amor,
sia benedetto teco il Signor.
Santa Maria, del ciel desio,

About Ave Maria
This setting of the Ave Maria for SSA choir and piano by Filippo Marchetti offers a heartfelt musical expression of devotion. Sung in Italian, the text elevates Mary, highlighting her grace, her role as the chosen daughter of Eve, and her blessedness. It speaks of the divine promise she carries and her intercession for humanity. The lyrics call upon her to pray for us, particularly during times of hardship and earthly strife, and to plead with her son when we face our final moments. The music likely reflects the reverence and tenderness of the sacred words, making it suitable for services or concerts focusing on Marian themes or devotional music.
