Synopsis

for SATB unaccompanied A partner antiphon to Bednall's Ave Regina caelorum, Alma Redemptoris Mater is a tender and expressive setting. In turn, this pair of antiphons compliments Herbert Howells's setting of the other two Marian antiphons (Salve Regina and Regina Caeli), making for compelling programming. Triplet movement and changing metre create a sense of ebb and flow and harmonic and melodic interest provoke a sense of peaceful expectancy.
