About Ave Regina
This setting of the Marian antiphon Ave Regina offers a rich opportunity for SATB choir. The Latin text, addressing Mary as Queen of Heaven and Lady of the Angels, invokes her as the root and gate from which light was born into the world. It continues with praises for her surpassing beauty and calls her to intercede for us with Christ. Aufschnaiter’s music undoubtedly explores the devotional and exultant qualities of this ancient text, providing a moving and uplifting experience for both singers and listeners.
