Beata es Virgo Maria a 7 by Giovanni Battista Stefanini — 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 a 7
This seven-part motet for SSAATTB voices, Beata es Virgo Maria, is a sacred work by Giovanni Battista Stefanini. Sung in Latin, it would be appropriate for Marian feast days or other liturgical occasions. The text draws on well-known antiphons and biblical phrases, celebrating the Virgin Mary as the Mother of God, who believed the divine promise and is exalted above the choirs of angels. Stefanini’s setting likely offers rich harmonic possibilities for a skilled choir, exploring the solemnity and joy of the liturgical texts through layered vocal textures.
