An equal voice gem that has been pitched down to suit lower tenors. This motet has great energy and is a long-standing favorite with my men's choirs.
Sancta et Immaculata | Guerrero | TTBB | 4'
Sancta et immaculata virginitas,
quibus te laudibus efferam nescio:
quia quem caeli capere non poterant,
tuo gremio contulisti.
Benedicta tu in mulieribus
et benedictus fructus ventris tui.
O holy and immaculate virginity,
I know not by what praises I may extol thee:
for thou hast born in thy womb,
whom the heavens could not contain.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
