Salve sancta parens ..... with a French accent!
The Tract says:
Rejoice, O Virgin Mary, thou alone hast destroyed all heresies.
Who didst believe the words of the Archangel Gabriel.
Whilst a virgin thou didst bring forth God and man:
And after childbirth thou didst remain a virgin.
O Mother of God, intercede for us.
Does anyone know if these timeless words have been set to polyphony?
There is Gregorian Chant for them...........
Latin:
Gaude, Maria Virgo, cunctas haereses sola interemisti.
Quae Gabrielis Archangeli dictis credidisti.
Dum Virgo Deum et hominem genuisti :
et post partum Virgo inviolata permansisti.
Dei Genetrix, intercede pro nobis.
