Virgo prudentissima,
quo progrederis, quasi aurora valde rutilans?
Filia Sion, tota formosa et suavis es:
pulchra ut luna, electa ut sol.

Klügste Jungfrau,
wohin gehst du, errötend wie der Morgen?
Tochter Zion, du bist gänzlich strahlend und mild,
schön wie der Mond, auserkoren wie die Sonne.

Most prudent virgin,
where are you going, shining brightly as the dawn?
Daughter of Sion, you are most beautiful and sweet,
beautiful as the moon, chosen as the sun.

Josquin Desprez was already a superstar among composers during his lifetime. His Marian motet Virgo prudentissima is the perfect piece for the Imaculate Conception. The recording was made for Curt Faudon's film “Songs for Mary”, both the DVD and the CD are available in our store.
