Assumpta Est Maria (Majestic Hymn for the Assumption)

Welcome to Songs of Faith & Sacred Prayer. "From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me." (Luke 1:48-49) "Assumpta Est Maria" is an original, traditional-style hymn celebrating the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The music begins with the quiet, hushed peace of her earthly departure (traditionally known as the Dormition), before ascending dynamically into a soaring, major-key choral triumph as she is assumed into heaven to reign with Christ in glory! Featuring the thundering power of a massive cathedral pipe organ and a triumphant mixed choir, the song concludes in absolute reverence as the grand music fades away, leaving the quiet, echoing voice of a priest praying the "Hail Mary" in the stillness of the cathedral. 🎨 The Visual Experience: To match the awe and mystery of the music, the artwork in this video returns to the rich, dramatic classical oil paintings of the "Old Masters." Inspired by the chiaroscuro of Caravaggio and the sweeping skies of the High Renaissance, watch as the deep shadows of earthly sorrow give way to the blinding, golden celestial light of heaven. 📅 New Hymns Every Wednesday.
