Four Marian Antiphons for SSAATTBB Choir

There are four seasonal antiphons to the Blessed Virgin Mary used in the Catholic Church. When I was given the opportunity to write a new piece for the choir of the Basilica of the National Shrine of Mary, Queen of the Universe, these antiphon texts and chants seemed ideal material to work with. I started with the most well-known Salve Regina. I was so pleased with how it turned out that I decided to write settings for all four of the Marian Antiphons. Check them out on the pages below:

  • Salve Regina
  • Regina Caeli
  • Ave Regina Coelorum
  • Alma Redemptoris Mater
  • Vierne: Messe Solennelle

    Event Description:

    Combined Choirs from the Cathedrals of St. James and St. Luke, the University of Central Florida, and other Central Florida American Guild of Organists combine to perform the Messe Solennelle of Louis Vierne.
