About Ave Regina caelorum
This setting of the Marian votive antiphon Ave Regina caelorum is suitable for SATB choir. Its Latin text, traditionally sung from the Feast of the Annunciation to the Feast of the Nativity of Mary, addresses Mary as Queen of Heaven and Lady of Angels. The text praises her as the root and gate from which the world's light was born, and rejoices in her glorious beauty, praying that she will always intercede for us with Christ. Oliver Hayes's composition brings this ancient and revered text to life, offering a devotional musical experience for liturgical settings or concert programmes.
