About Cheia sois de graça
This devotional song, Cheia sois de graça, is sung in Portuguese and is suitable for a May devotion, a traditional time to honor Mary. The text addresses Mary, hailing her as full of grace and born without sin, our eternal advocate. The choir is asked to hear our pleas, as Mother of the Redeemer, and grant us a holy life and death in the Lord. The singers express their gratitude, not with flowers, but with praise, acknowledging Mary's virtues surpass those of nature's blossoms. It concludes with an offering of their hearts as a token of affection and thankfulness. The unison voicing makes it accessible for many choirs.
