Dynamics in the MP3s are probably not as they should be sung!

A note on dynamics: I transcribed this motet from an edition that included what I thought were highly questionable dynamics. I was not at all sure, for example, that the music really called for a fortissimo on "Sancta Maria," followed immediately by a pianissimo on "Mater Dei." I have omitted all dynamic markings here. Please experiment with dynamics and (if desired) let me know what you find most satisfactory.

Translation (if you really need one):

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
