Glòria a Maria by Joan Baptista Lambert — Lyrics
Glòria a Maria, flor de les flors;
glòria a Maria, reina dels cors.
Avui la Reina que el món espera
voltada hi baixa de flors i ocells,
és el seu trono la primavera,

About Glòria a Maria
Joan Baptista Lambert's Glòria a Maria is a sacred chant for SA choir, sung in Catalan. The text is a Marian antiphon, celebrating Mary as the 'flower of flowers' and 'queen of hearts'. It paints a picture of her descending surrounded by flowers and birds, with spring as her throne and the songbirds her musicians. The lyrics praise her purity and beauty, comparing her to a mystical rose among lilies, newly opened by the sun. This setting likely offers a simple yet evocative musical interpretation of the devotional text.
