£1.00

SKU Code: FBR-44254

The 6-minute SATB a cappella motet Ave Virgo Sanctissima (‘Hail, Holy Virgin’) was written in 2011, a commission from St Thomas the Apostle Catholic church, Los Angeles. It sets words by Prudentius (b. 348 AD), St. Ambrose (c. 337–397) and an anonymous writer. French in its influence, it has a rich palette of colour and harmony which sets a devotional tone in praise of the Blessed Virgin Mary. A soprano soloist floats effortlessly above the texture at key points, reminding us of the singularity of Mary’s situation.
