The Bells of the Angelus
“The Bells of the Angelus” is a religious piece of music that is widely used in the Catholic Church. It consists of 6 verses in total, each one ending in Ave Maria. I have included a shorter version of 3 verses also in your purchase.
The Angelus ( Latin for “angel”) is a Catholic devotion commemorating the Incarnation. As with many Catholic prayers, the name Angelusis derived from its incipit: Angelus Domini nuntiavit Mariæ (“The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary“) and is practised by reciting as versicle and response three Biblical verses narrating the mystery, alternating with the prayer “Hail Mary“. The Angelus exemplifies a species of prayers called the “prayer of the devotee”.
The devotion was traditionally recited in Roman Catholic churches, convents, and monasteries three times daily: 6:00 am, noon, and 6:00 pm (many churches still follow the devotion, and some practice it at home). The devotion is also used by some Anglican and Lutheran churches.
The Angelus is usually accompanied by the ringing of the Angelus bell, which is a call to prayer and to spread goodwill to everyone. The angel referred to in the prayer is Gabriel, a messenger of God who revealed to Mary that she would conceive a child to be born the Son of God (Luke 1:26–38).
Purchase includes:
- Accompaniment (All 6 Verses)
- Accompaniment (3 Verses)
- Accompaniment (6 Verses & Traditional Version)
- Accompaniment (3 Verses & Traditional Version)
The Traditional Version simply contains a change of 1 note but is common place in many churches today so I have included both the written version and the slightly altered version.
