Assumpta est Maria

A beautiful rendition of Palestrina's Assumpta est Maria by the British group Stile Antico ...



Assumpta est Maria in caelum:
Gaudent Angeli laudantes
benedicunt Dominum.

Gaudete et exultate omnes recti corde 
quia hodie Maria Virgo 
cum Christo regnat in aeternum! 
Alleluja ... Alleluja!

Mary is taken up into heaven; the Angels rejoice, praising, they bless God. Let all rejoice and be glad with righteous heart, for today the Virgin Mary reigns with Christ for evermore. Alleluia!
