God be with the mother.
As she carried her child, may she carry her soul.
As her child was born, may she give birth, and life, and form
To her own, higher truth.
Mother Mary has long been the ultimate image of maternal sacrifice and perfect motherhood - purity, selflessness, and service. In ave regina // God, be with the mother, Luminescence Chamber Singers join forces with guest artist Jess Green to re-imagine the long tradition of devotional music for the virgin Mary and explore the many meanings of motherhood. Music by Guillaume Dufay, Jacob Obrecht and Pierre de la Rue as well as contemporary composers Alice Chance, Andrew Ford, Gabriel Jackson, and a newly commissioned work by Jess Green.
