A setting of this most famous Marian Anthem with an extraordinary degree of pathos involved. Some exquisite vocal writing and a very satisfying obbligato cello part in the Eia ergo advocata nostra.

Written for St Peter’s in Rome, the gradual, versicles and sequence for Pentecost and the first 2 ferie in the octave of Pentecost. A rousing alleluia with the propers for solo voice, a solo trio for Veni Sancte Spiritus, reple tuorum and a full choral version, with solos for the sequence Veni Sancte Spiritus, et emitte caelitus. This is still the current correct texts for Pentecost according to the Graduale Romanum.
