This piece was written at the request of the composer's daughter who needed a Marian song for an M.M. recital focused on women in choral music. The music is based on the chant Salve Regina from the "Liber Usualis" (1961). The piece is in two sections beginning with an optional votive antiphon (the chant sung by only men) followed by a motet that features varied choral techniques of many kinds to hold the interest of singers and listeners alike.
