Original

O Gloriosa Domina composed by William Byrd. 1540-1623. Edited by Jameson Marvin. For Choral. SSA A Cappella. Mark Foster. 12 pages. Shawnee Press #MF3101. Published by Shawnee Press. HL.35015572. William Byrd offers a beautiful setting for the motet, “O Gloriosa Domina. ” James Marvin has transposed the original up a 4th, gaining great clarity for the treble voice. A highly expressive setting of a colorful and poignant text extolling the virtues of the Virgin Mary, the motet is divided into four brief sections, each devoted to a verse of the Lauds Hymn. The final “Amen” is particularly striking. An enduring text that is highly engaging to sing, this lovely three-part work is a must for treble choirs.
