Ave Maria ancilla Sanctae Trinitatis by Serafino Cantone — Lyrics
Ave Maria ancilla Sanctae Trinitatis humillima,ave Maria praeelecta Dei Patris filia sublimissima,ave Maria sponsa Spiritus Sancti nobilissima,ave Maria, regina patriarcharum gloriosissima,ave Maria promissio prophetarum desideratissima,ave Maria magistra evangelistarum veracissima,ave Maria spes et plenitudo confessorum suavissima,ave Maria, imperatrix sanctorum omnium,augustissima salus et consolatrix,et mortuorum promptissima.
About Ave Maria ancilla Sanctae Trinitatis
Serafino Cantone's Ave Maria ancilla Sanctae Trinitatis is a profound setting of a Latin text exploring the multifaceted role of Mary within the Holy Trinity. The text itself is a litany of praise, addressing Mary as the humble handmaiden, the chosen daughter, and the noble spouse, before moving through her regal titles as queen of patriarchs, fulfiller of prophecy, mistress of evangelists, and the hope of confessors. The composer has chosen to set this text for double choir (SATB.SATB), allowing for rich contrapuntal textures and antiphonal effects. This sacred motet offers opportunities for dynamic contrast and expressive vocal writing, ideal for a choir seeking a substantial and devotional work.
