This piece is the third in the set of "Three Marian Antiphons for Treble Choir" by Palestrina and edited by Raymond Sprague. As in the first two pieces, the editor has provided a clean and uncluttered score in order to provide a canvas on which the informed conductor and well-trained choir can create a fresh and true interpretation of this beautiful Renaissance masterpiece.

This is the second of Three Marian Antiphons for Treble Choir. The first is "Salve Regina," also published by Roger Dean (15/1853R), and the third will follow next year. Written in two sections--the first, long and legato; the second, very rhythmic--this is sure to become a standard in the women's repertoire for colleges and festivals.
