Welcome to Anthem 11 in my attempt to write a new choir anthem every week for a year. I’m Kevin Mulryne and I hope you will enjoy listening to my progress throughout 2024. Please do visit the website Anthem52.com, follow along on x.com - @realanthem52 or Instagram - @realanthem52 and send me a message to [email protected]. This week's composition seemed to go a lot more smoothly than usual. I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing. As it was Mothering Sunday this week, I hunted for a prayer to set. I didn't want to go for the traditional Ave Maria because I dislike the Schubert version and I wouldn't be able to separate the words from that music. Nothing personal, it's just not a tune that suits me. I found a useful website and a variety of good prayer words here - https://www.prayinglatin.com/prayers-to-our-lady/ - and went for part of Regina Caeli, Queen of Heaven. Here's the part I set: Words for Anthem 11: Deus qui per resurrectionem Filii tui, Domini nostri Iesu Christi, mundum laetificare dignatus es: praesta, quaesumus, ut per eius Genetricem Virginem Mariam, perpetuae capiamus gaudia vitae. Per eundem Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen. ______________ O God, who by the Resurrection of Thy Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, granted joy to the whole world: grant we beseech Thee, that through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, His Mother, we may lay hold of the joys of eternal life. Through the same Christ our Lord. R. Amen. Translation https://www.prayinglatin.com/prayers-to-our-lady/
