Our Lady’s Saturday

The Madonna of Humility, 1415/16, by Gentile da Fabriano (1370-1427)

The hymn at Lauds on feasts of the Virgin Mary, O gloriosa Domina, also sung at the Saturday Office of Our Lady. This recording by the Benedictine Monks of Norcia follows the original text, preserved in the monastic breviary. 

A very nice polyphonic setting by William Byrd.
