sings a beautiful motet from his album "Beata Vergine"

The Regina Cæli or Regina Cœli ("Queen of Heaven"), is an ancient Latin Marian Hymn of the Christian Church.
It is one of the four seasonal Marian antiphons of the Blessed Virgin Mary, prescribed to be sung or recited in the Liturgy of the Hours at the conclusion of the last of the hours to be prayed in common that day, typically night prayer (Compline or Vespers). The Regina Caeliis sung or recited in place of the Angelus during the Easter season, from Holy Saturday through the Saturday after Pentecost.

perpetuæ capiamus gaudia vitæ.
Per eundem Christum Dominum nostrum. R. Amen.
