Description
  • Marian antiphon sung at Compline and Lauds between the First Sunday of Advent and Candlemas
  • Click on the manuscript image and download the high-resolution version to follow along with the score, starting at the large calligraphed "G." The antiphon repeats after the psalm verse "Annunciabunt...quẽ fecit dominus" and again after the "Gloria patri." Only the beginning and end of the "Gloria patri" are in the manuscript; "EVOVAE" represents the vowels in the final six syllables, "sæculorum, amen." The Latin is pronounced in the manner of Renaissance Germany, based on Åbo's German ecclesiastical connections.

A Gregorian chant is often used as the theme music for the Halo Installations in the Halo series, likely alluding to the strong religious connotations they possess for the Covenant, who regard them as relics left behind by their gods, the species that built them.
