The Alma Redemptoris Mater is one of the four Marian Antiphons sung at the end of the liturgy of the hours. Its author is believed to be Hermannus Contractus ( Herman the Lame ; 1013-1054). It is traditionally sung after the recitation of Compline from the first Sunday of Advent until the Feast of Candlemas or Feast of the Purification of the Virgin (2 February) • • Alma Redemptoris Mater, quæ pervia cæli • Porta manes, et stella maris, succurre cadenti, • Surgere qui curat, populo: tu quæ genuisti, • Natura mirante, tuum sanctum Genitorem • Virgo prius prius ac posterius, Gabrielis ab ore • Sumens illud Ave, peccatorum miserere. • Loving Mother of the Redeemer, • who remains the accessible Gateway of Heaven, • and Star of the Sea, • Give aid to a falling people • that strives to rise; • O Thou who begot thy holy Creator, • while all nature marvelled, • Virgin before and after • receiving that Ave from the mouth of Gabriel, • have mercy on sinners. • • www.harpadei.com • Soundcloud: / user-749496596-312451560
