"Source: a manuscript copied by Alamire. The notes are very clear, the text less so, unfortunately. I have not been able to identify any other setting of the text, which also clearly does not originate in a plainchant source. Curiously, the work does not appear to have been recorded, although it is of considerable interest. The only performance I am aware of at all was one by my own ensemble in 2013."

¶Lyrics / Text

O quam fulges in aetheris Maria mater gratiae quae miseris compateris. O quam fulges in aetheris. Fulgorem hunc amplexeris. Virtute pudiciae coloravit prae caeteris. O quam fulges in aetheris, mater gratiae. Et gloriam qua dotare quis poterit eructare tuam beatitudinem? tu per donum singularem archangelorum ordinem transcendere et dum nominem creditur te superare quis poterit eructare tuam beatitudinem? In summitate caelorum sic radiens stella maris super choros angelorum in summitate caelorum suscipe laudes servorum quas vocibus canunt claris eosque precibus caris fac sequi viam iustorum in summitate caelorum sic radiens stella maris.
