Di Regia stirpe Hebrea

Sing this devotional laude during Advent or Christmas. The text speaks of Mary as being of royal Hebrew lineage, yet free from sin, and on this day, becoming more beautiful than any star. It marvels at the grace of God, which is spread into a mortal veil. Don Remigio’s setting for treble duet (SSB) with piano accompaniment is a gentle and lyrical expression of this Marian text. The flowing melodic lines and rich harmonies are well-suited for a parish choir seeking a reflective piece to enhance the sacred seasons.
