This work is famously mentioned in Chaucer's The Miller's Tale:
And al above there lay a gay sautrie
on which he made anyghtes melodie
so sweetly that all the chamber rong
and Angelus ad virginem he song…
Among the numerous mss. sources there are five versions with music, all with slightly different tunes. As labeled in Dobson & Harrison Mediaeval English Songs, they are:
- Version a: tune only, in Cambridge MS Add. 710 (the so-called Dublin Troper)
- Version b: (ornate) tune only with both Latin and English text, in BL MS Arundel 248
- Version c: 2-voice setting, in BL MS Cotton Fragments XXIX (the charred survivor of a 1731 fire)
- Version d: 3-voice setting without text in Cambridge MS Add. 710 (the so-called Dublin Troper)
- Version e: 3-voice setting with Latin text in Cambridge MS Add. 710 (the so-called Dublin Troper)

Latin text 1. Angelus ad Vírginem, |
English translation 1. Gabriel fram eveneking |
English translation 1. Gabriel, from heaven's king |
German translation
1. Als der Engel heimlich in das Zimmer der Jungfrau kam,
beschwichtigte er die Furcht der jungen Frau,
indem er sagte:
„Heil! Gegrüsset seist du, Königin der Jungfrauen.
Obgleich noch unberührt von einem Mann
sollst du empfangen und austragen
den Herrn des Himmels und der Erde,
der Rettung der Menschheit.
Du bist das Tor des Himmels geworden,
zur Heilung der Sünden.“
2. „Wie kann ich empfangen,
da ich doch bisher noch keinen Mann erkannte?
Wie kann ich das Gelübde brechen
das ich mit starker Absicht ablegte?“
„Die Gnade des Heiligen Geistes
soll dies bewältigen. Fürchte dich nicht,
sondern freue dich, und versichere dich
der Gewissheit, dass die reine Keuschheit
dir bleiben soll
durch Gottes Allmacht.“
3. Darauf antwortete die edle Jungfrau
und sagte: „Ich bin die niedere Magd
des allmächtigen Gottes.
Ich beuge mich deinem Willen
O himmlischer Bote,
der mir solch ein großes Geheimnis anvertraut,
und ich sehne mich danach erfüllt zu sehen,
was ich gerade höre.
Ich bin bereit mich
Gottes Plan zu unterwerfen.“
4. Oh, Mutter Gottes,
die du den Frieden zurückbrachtest
den Engeln und der Menschheit
als du Christus gebarst,
wir beten, dass dein Sohn
uns gnädig sei, und hinweg fegt
unsere Sünden, uns Hilfe gewährt
so dass wir uns eines gesegneten Lebens erfreuen
nach dieser Zeit des Exils.
