With Zwei
lateinische
Marienmotetten for mixed
a cappella choir (SATB)
and interlude for organ
or string quintet,
Andreas Pieper has
created two gems of
Marian devotion which are
perfect for being used in
church services. The two
four-part chants pay
homage to the Virgin Mary
and refer to two
different solemnities of
the Roman Catholic Church
celebrated in her honour.
Whereas Assumpta est
Maria is a motet for the
Feast of the Assumption
of Mary on 15 August,
Benedicta es tu, virgo
Maria refers to the Feast
of the Immaculate
Conception celebrated
every year on 8 December.
Both choral settings can
be easily mastered by
ambitious church choirs,
and the interlude and
postlude for organ or
string quintet of
Assumpta est Maria, the
easier one of the two
motets, can be easily
performed even by amateur
musicians.
