SMTV Vol. II, No. 1.4 – Alma Redemptoris Mater (Palestrina)

(This entry is part 8 in the series “Sacred Music Television, Vol. II.”)

Alma Redémptoris Mater, quae pérvia caeli
Porta manes, et stella maris, súccurre cadénti,
Súrgere qui curat, pópulo: tu quae genuísti,
Nátura miránte, tuum sanctum Genitórem
Virgo prius ac postérius, Gabriélis ab ore
Sumens illud Ave, peccatórum miserére.

Loving Mother of our Savior, hear thou thy people’s cry
Star of the deep and Portal of the sky!
Mother of Him who thee made from nothing made.
Sinking we strive and call to thee for aid:
Oh, by what joy which Gabriel brought to thee,
Thou Virgin first and last, let us thy mercy see.

Sacred Music Television, Vol. II
