"Mater Anna" , op. 5 from Sacri Musicali Affetti by Barbara Strozzi, 1619-1677 Recorded NYC, September 2010 with viola di gambist Motomi Igarashi

Translation:

Mother Anne, who hast brought forth the offspring of eternal promise, the fruit from which sweet Jesus sprang.

Holy and sweet Mother Anne, how blessed the House of David which produced the womb in which God formed the altar of sanctification.

Hear, oh nations, of this superlative miracle; hear, oh nations, and rejoice with me how from a sterile womb the Divine seed sprang forth; hear, hear of the Son of Mary and rejoice with me in God's supernatural power.

Sweet Mother Anne, you nourished at your breast the flower of blessedness; ungrateful mankind nailed Jesus to a cross.

Oh Thou Most Holy Mother Anne, interceed for us; Amen.
