Beata viscera a 8 by Andrea Rota — Lyrics
Beata viscera Mariae Virginis,
quae portaverunt aeterni Patris Filium; [Alleluia.]
et beata ubera, quæ lactaverunt Christum Dominum:
qui hodie pro salute mundi de Virgine nasci dignatus est.

About Beata viscera a 8
This eight-part motet by Andrea Rota is a reflective setting of Latin texts drawn from Marian devotions and liturgical scripture. Suitable for a Christmas or Marian feast day, the music celebrates the virginity of Mary and her role as the mother of Christ. The text praises her blessed womb and breasts which nourished the Lord, noting that he was born for the world's salvation. The motet includes a verse for general adoration and a Communion verse from Psalm 45, which speaks of the King's glorious works. Rota's rich SATB.SATB scoring offers a grand sound, ideal for experienced choirs seeking substantial sacred repertoire.
