Deeply touched by the words of the old prayer of supplication Memorare, o piissima Virgo Maria (Remember, most gracious Virgin Mary), the Vorarlberg composer Thomas Thurnher has created a rousing composition for four-part mixed choir. Chorale and archaic-like passages and powerful chordal blocks dominate this work that expressively conveys the inner turmoil of the supplicant who has in his distress turned to the Blessed Mother. The return to the comforting tone that prevails at the beginning ultimately announces the celestial aid.
