Benedicta tu in mulieribus



In honor of the birthday of the Mother of God, here is a video of one of my favorite pieces of music, Franz Biebl's Ave Maria, as sung by Chanticleer.


Tota pulchra es, Maria,
et macula originalis non est in te.
Vestimentum tuum candidum quasi nix, et facies tua sicut sol.
Tota pulchra es, Maria,
et macula originalis non est in te.
Tu gloria Jerusalem, tu laetitia Israel, tu honorificentia populi nostri.
Tota pulchra es, Maria.
