| Title: |
Missus est Gabriel Angelus |
|
 |
| Liturgical Use: |
Feast of the Annunciation; Advent IV |
| Remarks: |
This piece evokes the moment of mystery
and awe when a young girl, hearing the Angel’s voice,
was touched by grace. When the text marks the Angelic
Salutation, the music traces the familiar Ave Maria plainsong melody
in a magnificently florid paraphrase. An exceptionally
rewarding work by the greatest composer of his era. |
