Lyrics:

(M: Anonymous; T: Oswald von Wolkenstein)

(Chorus)
   Ave mater, o Maria
   pietatis tota pia,
   sine te non erat via
   deploranti saeculo.

1. Gracia tu nobis data,
quam fidelis advocata,
caeli thronus es praelata,
in aeterno solio.
(Chorus)

 

2. Benedicta tu sanctarum,
consolatrix animarum,
per te patet lumen clarum,
deplorantis oculo.
(Chorus)

3. Amen ultimo cantamus,
in signum quod peroptamus,
quitquit vitae postulamus,
in orationibus.
(Chorus)

Eine Lauda aus dem frühen 14. Jahrhundert.
Laudes waren Laienbruderschaften der italienischen Stadtrepubliken, die in ihren mehrstündigen täglichen Gottesdiensten auch die weltliche Musik ihrer Zeit integrierten; so ist dieser Mariengesang hörbar von der Mehrstimmigkeit des Trecento beeinflusst.

Ensemble Ioculatores,
CD 'Frofro', RK 9503, 1995.
