Subject: Marian Anthem Compilation (longish)

Thanks so much to everyone who took time to share ideas, especially Jim
Feiszli for clarifying the several types of Marian works. I was looking for
Annunciation anthems, celebrated in March. Hope you can all use this info.

Warm thanks,

By "Anunciation/conception" I assume that you
do not mean the current-day "Visitation" celebration
(May 31) .. nor the "Conception of Mary" on
December 8, which celebrates *her* conception, but
rather the March 25th "Annunciation" or visit to
Mary by Gabriel.
-----
The Graduale Triplex lists the following texts
for Propers for the May 31 "Visitation"

Gaudeamus omnes in Domino de cuius festivitate (IN)
Bendicta et venerabilis (GR)
Felix es, sacra Virgo (AL)
Beata es, Virgo Maria (OF)
Beatam me dicent (CO)
----
For the December 8 Conception of Mary:

Gaudens gaudebo (IN)
Benedicta es tu, Virgo Maria (GR)
Tota pulchra es (AL)
Ave Maria (OF)
Gloriosa dicta sunt de te (CO)
----

For the Annunciation (March 25) of Our Lord:

Rorate coeli (introit)
Tollite portas (gradual)
Audi, filia (tract)
and in paschal time, either of the alleluias:
Ave Maria
Virga Jesse
Ave Maria (offertory)
Ecce virgo concipiet (communion)
----

Keeping in mind that the Ave Maria texts are different for
the different Proper items, by using these as titles, you
should be able to do a search on MUSICA and come up
with plenty of possibilities.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

The Mathias: Salve Regina Op. 96 No. 5 came to mind. It is in the New
Church Anthem Book by Oxford.

Matt Swickey
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Don't know how well these would fit liturgically, but gorgeous and simple
and doable pieces on the Annunciation theme would have to include two
things from Brahms Op. 22 "Marienlieder"; #l (The Annunciation) and #4 (The
Hunter);
the latter one never fails to speak to singers, audiences (congrations?).
e-mail or call me. Best! Bob

Why yes I do. Why don't you sing Robert Parsons "Ave Maria?" Its a
wonderful Tudor English piece that I learned some years ago when I sang in a
pick-up choir conducted by John Rutter. I believe that it is in the Oxford
Book of Tudor Anthems.

Its a beautiful, etherial piece that sounds wonderful in a spacious acoustic.

Hi Ben! The Annunciation acc. to St. Luke of Schutz comes to mind.
Too long? Excerpts?

David Griggs-Janower
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Re, the Annunciation, there is a wealth of Orthdodox hymnography for
this feast. My favorite is a hymn with the text "With the voice of the
Archangel we cry out to you, O Virgin: 'Hail, O Full of Grace, the Lord
is with you!'" It is sometimes sung by a female trio and sometimes by a
mixed choir: in the liturgy it is sung several times, like a psalm
antophon, interspersed with psalm verses. Holy Note Press has published
a couple of settings under one cover: cat no. HNP 055.

Then, of course, there is "Rejoice, O Virgin" (Bogoroditse Devo), set by
Rachmaninoff, Gretchaninoff, and Tchaikovsky, among others. The words
are quite appropriate (being taken straight from the scriptural Angelic
salutation). In the Orthodox version the latter portion--"Sancta Maria,
Mater Dei, etc"--does not exist, so the text remains more specific to
the Annunciation (although the Orthodox use this hymn every week at
Vespers, and not as a proper for Annunciation).

Hope you are well. It was good to see you in San Diego, however briefly.

Patrick Hadley's 'I sing of a maiden'. Can be done by treble voices (SA),
or by two soloists. Spellbinding, IMHO. There are many medieval Marian
texts which have been set as carols, and can be used as anthems.

// Joanna Holland
/ Collegium Records
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I suggest "Dixit Maria" by Hans Leo Hassler. Also, not really a
Marian anthem, but topically related and a wonderful SSA piece, is
"Gabriel's message" by Alice Parker, on a mystical text by John Mason
Neale; it is one of the movements in her cantata "An Easter
rejoicing" (ECS).

Frank Ferko has a set of Six Marian Motets, for many of the usual Marian

"Ne timeas Maria" by de Victoria is one of the loveliest mrain annunciation
hymns that I have heard, and as the director of the Catherdal Choir at a
Mrian Cathedral, I get to hear many Marian tunes. "Ave Marias" are also
appropriate for conception/annunciation. A good non-liturgical hymn is a
setting by the very young Johannes Brahms (I think he was 21 or so) of a
folk-tune called "The White Dove," "Die Wiesse Taube" in german, which is
available in a fine English translation.

interpreted "Mary" to mean "Mary Poppins"!!! The following is a
compilation of the responses.

I am presently doing a Magnificat byGiacomo Antonio Perti 1661-1756 edited
by Richard Bloesch Univ. of Iowa and published by Concordia 98-2686 It is
not very difficult and I am using Violin I Violin 2 Viola Cello Bass and

My favorite is "I Sing of a Maiden", and unfortunately I've misplaced my
copy or I could tell you who it's by.....it can be found in Book 2 of CAROLS
FOR CHOIRS (yes, the "orange" book!), and is usually performed as sop/alto
duet, altho I'm sure you could adjust it for your choir. It's breathtaking,
I think.....

*******************************

few years ago we performed a work from a contemporary Flemish (=belgian)
composer Vic Nees (1936), called "Regina Coeli - blue be it" for Sopano solo,
SSATB choir and Celesta accompaniment (exec.time 15'). This is a beautifull
combination of an english poem "blue be it" (sorry, don't remember the author)
performed by the soprano, with an underlying accompaniment of the latin "regina
coeli" by the SSATB choir, together with the "heavenly" sound of the celesta.

you can reach the publisher "notenboom" (=note-tree) in Belgium at:

I have been working on setting the four principle Marien texts (REgina
Coeli, Ave Maria, Salve Regina, and Ave REgina Coelorum) as a set that can
be done individually or as a group. The only one I have completed at this
point is the Salve Regina. It is scored for a cappella SATB choir and
soprano solo in the middle section. The harmonic feel is very diatonic
with a "20th century" feel to it. I finished this out of necessity for a
smaller church choir in Tucson.

Do you know the Pergolesi Magnificat? Very bouncy and youthful,
and the parts are not difficult. If they can do Mozart's Regina Coeli,
they can easily do this. It went over very well with my high school

THIS PIECE, THE PERGOLESI MAGNIFICAT (CURRENTLY BEING ATTRIBUTED TO HIS TEACHER, DURANTE) WAS, HANDS-DOWN, THE WINNER IN THE MARIAN WORKS CATEGORY. IT WAS ALSO SUGGESTED BY:

Ken Pendergrass
kenpendergrass@kinn.com

*************************

Mozart's Regina Coeli (K. 108) is quite
accessible for the group you describe. I'd also suggest his "Sancta Maria,
Mater Dei" K273. It is only five or six minutes long, but very rewarding,
and also would be accessible to the group you describe.

I'd suggest the Pergolesi "Magnificat" that isn't really by Pergolesi. You
can easily get away with having the choir sing the solo sections if you
don't feel like dealing with soloists.

All of these have been enjoyed very much by my kids and by our audiences.

Have you considered Arcadelt's "Ave Maria"? If you do not know it- it is
late Renaissance style and four parts. Lovely phrases and rich harmony.
We are singing it this Christmas- the students appreciate its beauty.

I loudly recommend any of the Marian Motets by Frank Ferko. I
participated in a recording project of these works last year and found
them all to be exquisitely crafted pieces. Ferko is a smart man who
managed to translate the depth and emotion of the Marian texts into
sensitive and moving choral pieces. I would think they are very
appropriate for a choir like yours. The publisher is E.C. Schirmer.
Ferko's webpage is:

P.S. The recording is on the Arsis label (CD 102), distributed by
Allegro. The recent issue of American Record Guide has a review of it.

****************************

You might look at Halsey Steven's Magnificat. It is written for strings
and trumpet. I did it on my Master's recital with piano and trumpet, so
I'm not familiar with the string parts, but it is not too difficult in the
voice parts. Most of the difficulty comes from mixed meters, rhythm, etc.
As I remember it is not too difficult in the voice leading aspect.

****************************

There's the Durante Magnificat, which used to be attributed to Pergolesi,
I think. Arista publishes it, and it's been recorded (Willcocks??). There
is also an early Magnificat by Bruckner, for SATB, solists (minor roles),
strings without violas, trumpets and drums, organ. It's a charming piece,
about 80 measures, not difficult at all, and a kind of nice inclusion int
he repertory. I don't know if it's published yet.

****************************

I performed the Magnificat Anima mea by Buxtehude last fall and enjoyed it
very much. It call for ssatb choir, string quartet and continuo. I used five
soloists on the sections where the strings did not play, but you could use
the full choir just as well. If you would like, I will send you a copy.

****************************

I am guest conductor of a choir called Cantos based in Germany, and had
myself considered doing a "Virgin Mary" concert at some stage in the
future. The following are the pieces I had thought of. Since Cantos is
an a-capella ensemble, these works are all without accompaniment. Some
may be too difficult- I leave that to your discretion.

Anton Bruckner- Ave Maria
William Byrd- Salve Regina
Johannes Eccard- Maria wallt zum Heiligtum (also an English version, "When
to the temple Mary went"- the story of Simeon blessing the Christ Child)
Robert Parsons- Ave Maria
Francis Poulenc- Salve Regina
Richard Pygott (not sure of spelling)- Quid petis, o fili
Tavener- Two hymns to the mother of God, The Annunciation (require large
forces, but very effective. NOT easy, however)

As far as Magnificats go, I've always been a big fan of Stanford in G for
soprano solo, choir and organ. I don't know of an orchestral/band
arrangement for it, but it's crying out to be done! Alan Wilson has
written a setting of the ASB text for choir, organ and synthesizer, which
again is very fine, and not so "modern" that it is inaccessible to younger
singers.

Hope this is of some use to you. If you decide not to post to the list, I
should be grateful for a summary of other responses you may receive.

********************************

I saw your message on choral list and thought I might be able to
help. A 15 minute Magnificat by Antonio Vivaldi (I think Ricordi might
be the publisher) is at the same approximate difficulty level as his
Gloria and contains the same melodic charm, sturdy progressions, and
combinations of duets and solos. If you don't know the piece, take a
look at it. I think it would be about what you could be looking for.


Dennis K. Cox, D.M.A.
Dennis_Cox@voyager.umeres.maine.edu

********************************

Try the Arvo Part "Magnificat." Sounds like your choir could
most likely handle it if they can do the Vivaldi Gloria. Good luck.

Richard Waters
waters@uhavax.hartford.edu

*******************************

If you have access to both an organ and a good soprano soloist (she must
be good), a favorite of mine is C. V. Stanford's Mag & Nunc setting in G
Major.


Will Heim
wheim@post.cis.smu.edu

*****************************

I hope someone has suggested the Brahms Marienlieder. Last year one of the
choirs I sang in at Virginia Wesleyan College did them with great success
and enjoyment. They're SATB a capella, probably right at your group's
level. Lots of German, though, so I hope your group is willing to give it a
shot. Since all the songs are strophic, we experimented with solos and
quartets to keep things interesting. I hope Brahms approved.

The same group has also done Magnificats by Pergolesi and Leonardo Leo. The
Leo in particular might be perfect for your group, sort of a stile antico
thing they might be really comfortable with, but both would be great. I
believe the Pergolesi wasn't written by Pergolesi at all but by his teacher,
but it's been attributed to him for so long that I'm sure your music source
would know what you mean. We performed both of these with a quartet (maybe
there were a couple extra strings; I'm not too sure), winds, and continuo.

Here at Northwestern, where I'm now studying conducting, we are working on
a Magnificat by Gerald Finzi which is positively delicious. It's a little
bit more tricky, but very lush and beautiful, with wonderful singable
melodies and great word painting. It's a little bit larger, with some 8-part
writing and a larger accompaniment (either orchestra or a very full organ
part). I found it immediately accessible, and it's only gotten more
rewarding the harder I've worked. It *might* be a little tough for your
group, but it's certainly a piece worth knowing and might be a good
challenge for them. Our auditioned group was able to get the notes down in
a couple of rehearsals, so yours could possibly handle it pretty well.
There's not a lot of obnoxious 20th century stuff going on, which helps.
There are some nice rich harmonies, 7th and 9th chords, that sort of thing,
that would be good for their ears. In any case, if it's too soon to try it,
it might be something they could work up to for a general concert in a year
or so. I love this piece so much that I'm recommending it to everyone I
know--and now someone I don't!

Good luck. Here's to 60 more years.

A few suggestions:
SALVE REGINA by Pier Francesco Cavalli
(about 8 minutes)

AVE DULCISSIMA MARIA by Carlo Gesualdo
(about 6-7 minutes)

O MARIA, VENERANS ROSA by Jacques Clement
(about 5-6 minutes)

I heard all of these on a CD with the Monteverdi
Choir under John Eliot Gardiner - Erato ECD88087.

Also: any setting of STABAT MATER - ranges from
15 to 90 minutes. Avoid Dvorak (1 3/4 hr.)
There is a 10-12 minute setting by a major composer
but I can't recall whom!!

AVE MARIA - Stravinsky, Rachmaninoff, others.

Hope the concert goes well!

My special favourites are Parsons' Ave Maria, available in the Oxford
Book of Tudor Anthems (SAATB), Britten's "Hymn to the Virgin" (you
need a semi-chorus of 4 soloists SATB), Stanford's Magnificat in G
(you need a good sop soloist with high notes), Gibbons Magnificat from
the Second Service.


Maryann Lisk

**************************

You are probably swamped with suggestions by composers proposing their settings
of the Magnificat, but I am bold enough to add mine to the list.

In a collection of liturgical music published this year by Oregon Catholic Press
(OCP), entitled "In remembrance of you" is a setting of the Magnificat (in the
ELLC translation). The version that is printed is for solo soprano, SATB choir,
organ, and clarinet obbligato. If desired, the solo line may be taken by the
choir sopranos singing in unison. I also have a scoring of the accompaniment
for strings, should you want it. The demands of the work fall well within the
limits you mention in your request.

A phone call to OCP's customer service will put you in touch with somebody who
can help you more directly by sending you a preview copy: 1-800-548-8749.

You might also ask about a Marian hymn that appeared in a collection published
by OCP in 1995. The hymn is called "There is nothing told about this woman",
and the collection is called "God here among us". The text weaves together
significant passages from the New Testament that speak of Mary. Both this song
and the Magnificat have been recorded by OCP.

Happy hunting.

i didn't see your original question or i would have added one more:

in college i remember singing a magnificat by Charles Theodore
Pachelbell (apparently no relation to the more famous Kanon composer).
apparently he was an american composer and i believe the notes on the
music said that the magnificat was the only published piece of music by
him. it wasn't too difficult, however it was for double choir. i
remember we performed it antiphonally. sorry i don't know anything more

*******************

1. Ave Maria--Josquin des Prez
Composed around the beginning of the sixteenth century, very
beautiful with a sensitive matching of music and words. The text is not
the traditional, the english translation from the latin is:
Hail to thee Mary, full of grace,
Whose solemn conception, earthly, divine,
Brings new joy.
Hail to the birth, of conception immaculate
The light from the East that with pious humility
Announced our salvation.

Hail to the chastity through which we are purged.
Hail to the sublimest of virtue; the Assumption
that glorified man.

O Mother of God
Remembrance mine.
Amen.

2. Aeternae Laudis Lilium--Robert Fayrfax
A very early english composer, I do not have the text
handy, it is quite long and very beautiful. I believe it was written for
Immaculate Conception as the text deals with Mary's lineage from Jesse
and mentions Elizabeth and Joachim. Splendid, very beautiful, difficult
but worth it.
