Exurgens autem Maria

This setting of the Visitation story from the Gospels would be particularly apt for services during the Marian feasts of the liturgical year. The text recounts Mary's journey to Elizabeth and their joyful exchange, culminating in Elizabeth's praise of Mary and her faith. Balthasar Resinarius crafts this biblical narrative for a four-part choir of treble and bass voices (STTB). The composer uses the Latin text to create a rich, devotional sound-world, evoking the sacred significance of the Visitation event and its theological implications.
