Benedicta et venerabilis

This motet is ideal for Marian feast days or general occasions within the church's year. Setting a Latin text, Moritz Brosig's SSAATBB setting of Benedicta et venerabilis es, Virgo Maria is a rich and devotional work. The text speaks of the Virgin Mary's blessedness and venerability, her conception of the Saviour without loss of purity, and how the Creator of all things became human within her womb. Brosig's intricate vocal writing, with its six distinct parts, allows for a full and resonant sound, creating a sense of awe and reverence appropriate to the sacred subject matter.
