Programme Note
Text
Salvé, Ishah…
“Today is the beginning of our salvation,
and the revelation of the eternal Mystery!
The Son of God becomes the Son of the Virgin,
and the Angel Gabriel announces the coming of Grace.
Together with him, let us cry to the Theotokos:
Salvé, O Full of Grace, the Lord is with you, Salvé!”
— Biblical texts arranged and adapted by José Tolentino de Mendonça
(with further arrangements by Nilo Cruz and Gabriela Lena Frank)
