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.

What Reviewers Are Saying
Beginning and ending in open fifths, this setting of the Marian antiphon ('O loving Mother of our Redeemer') has a haunting ethos throughout that is very reminiscent of Herbert Howells's mysticism. The natural rhythm of the text is highlighted by subtle changes in meter and triplets against duplets. * Derek E. Nickels, Diapason, September 2019 *
