HEVENE QUENE SATB NH28

for SSATB unaccompanied No. 1 of McDowall's 'Three Latin Motets', Ave Regina is a gentle and lyrical setting of the text 'Hail, Queen of the Heavens'. The calm and memorable opening phrase is hinted at in passages ofmore intensity, and its partial statement at the end leaves it lingerin g after the voices have faded away.
