Product Overview
An album of sublime choral music devoted to Our Lady, from some of the world's finest voices, and musicians!
In addition to traditional Marian hymns, there are two "Cherubic" hymns for Mary as "Queen of the Angels". Also, the transcendent "Versa Est In Luctum", while not a Marian text, echoes the Orthodox prayer to Mary "Most Holy Mother of God, Save Us!" All are inspired and deeply moving performances.
