'Von unser frawen: Wir süllen loben all dy raine, D70' is a medieval hymn composed by Mönch von Salzburg (Herrmann) in the 14th century. The hymn is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and is written in Middle High German. It is believed to have been composed between 1350 and 1370. The hymn has three movements, each with its own distinct characteristics. The first movement is a praise to the Virgin Mary, with the lyrics "Wir süllen loben all dy raine" (We should praise all your glory). The melody is simple and repetitive, with a steady rhythm and a clear melody line. The second movement is a prayer to the Virgin Mary, with the lyrics "O Maria, hilf uns gnade gewinnen" (O Mary, help us to gain grace). The melody is more complex than the first movement, with a more varied rhythm and a more intricate melody line. The third movement is a final praise to the Virgin Mary, with the lyrics "O Maria, du edel maget rein" (O Mary, you noble and pure maiden). The melody is similar to the first movement, with a simple and repetitive rhythm and melody line. The hymn was first performed in the 14th century and has since become a popular hymn in the Catholic Church. It is often performed during Marian feasts and celebrations, such as the Feast of the Assumption. The hymn is known for its simple yet powerful melody and its devotion to the Virgin Mary. It is a testament to the enduring popularity of medieval hymns and their continued relevance in modern times.
