Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1077968 Composed by David Sackmann. A Cappella,Classical. Octavo. 5 pages. David Sackmann #682168. Published by David Sackmann (A0.1077968). The text for “Sancta Maria†is taken from a poem from Edgar Allen Poe's short story Morella, and from different revisions of the poem throughout Poe's life. The text is one of longing and of finding a sense of hope and peace when parts of our life seem to spiral out of our control. This piece was written for my family. Sancta Maria! At morn - at noon - at twilight dim - Maria! thou hast heard my hymn! In joy and woe - in good and ill - Mother of God, be with me still! When the Hours flew brightly by, And not a cloud obscured the sky, My soul, lest it should truant be, Thy grace did guide to thine and thee; Now, when storms of Fate o'ercast Darkly my Present and my Past, Let my Future radiant shine With sweet hopes of thee and thine! -Text by Edgar Allen Poe.
