Nova! Nova! Ave fit ex Eva!

- Chad Cagle

 


PDF Sample

Use: Christmas, Marian
Required Resources: SATB choir
Language: English, Latin

This is a delightful journey into Renaissance style, both text and music. A refrain on the title is set for SATB choir in two-parts and unison.

The six verses are scored alternately for two-part women's and two-part men's voices; these could even be sung by soloists, making this an instant choral motet.

The 15th century text relates the Annunciation story in pleasantly vintage prose:

  1. Gabriel of high degree, He came down from the Trinity, From Nazareth to Galilee.
  2. He met a Maiden in a place; He kneeléd down before her face; He said: "Hail, Mary, full of grace!"
  3. When the Maiden saw all this She was sore abashed y-wis, Lest that she had done amiss.
  4. Then said the angel: "Dread not you, Ye shall conceive in all virture, A child whose name shall be Jesu."
  5. Then said the angel anon: "It is not fully six months gone Since Saint Elizabeth conceived Saint John."
  6. Then said the Maiden anon quickly: "I am Gödes own truly; Ecce Ancilla Domini."

This is a truly practical and graceful Marian motet!
