Beata es Virgo Maria by Ivo de Vento — Lyrics
;Version 1
Beata es, Virgo Maria,
quae Dominum portasti creatorem mundi:
Genuisti eum, qui te fecit,
et in aeternum permanes virgo.
Alleluia.
Ave Maria gratia plena, Dominus tecum.
;Version 2
Beata es, Virgo Maria, quae credidisti Domino;
perficientur[perfecta sunt] in te, quae dicta sunt tibi a Domino.

About Beata es Virgo Maria
Ivo de Vento's motet Beata es Virgo Maria is set for ATTB voices in Latin. This sacred work draws on Marian texts, celebrating the Virgin Mary's role as the Mother of God and her faithful acceptance of God's will. The composer highlights her unique status as the one who carried the Creator of the world, bore Him who made her, and remained ever virgin. The motet also includes a section of the Ave Maria. The text emphasizes her role as an intercessor for humanity, exalted above the choirs of angels, and petitions her to pray for us to our Lord God. This motet is a profound reflection on Mary's sanctity and her position in the Christian tradition.
