The text of The Angel Gabriel, as translated by Sabine Baring-Gould, is a proclamation of praise for Mary’s fiat, her “yes” to God, and a proclamation of God’s favor toward the one who would be theotokos (God-bearer). This setting is composed specifically for choir, though the assembly could sing the melody as well. Although this text, inspired by Luke 1, is proclaimed at various times in the liturgical cycle, the reference to the nativity of the Lord alludes specifically to Advent/Christmas. This piece would be most appropriate on the solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, as well as on Christmas Eve, and for lessons and carols celebrations.
