This Marian antiphon setting comes from the composer's Il secondo libro de motetti a voce sola, first published in 1636. It was printed "for the education of boys and girls" although several passages in the present work are clearly aimed at Donati's more able pupils! There are several vocal flourishes, though none as ornate as the final "Virgo Maria".

Edited by Dennis Collins.
