:''For the devotion known as the angelus, see Angelus, and for other meanings, see angelus (disambiguation).'' Angelus ad Virginem (or its English title, Gabriel, From Heven King Was To The Maide Sende) was a popular medieval carol, whose text is a poetic version of the Hail Mary and the Annunciation to the Virgin Mary. Probably Franciscan in origin, it was brought to Britain by French friars in the 13th century. It is said to have originally consisted of 27 stanzas, with each following stanza beginning with the consecutive letter of the alphabet. Surviving manuscripts may be found in a c. 1361 Dublin Troper (a music book for use at Mass) and a 13th or 14th century vellum Sequentiale that may have been connected with the Church of Addle, Yorkshire. Its lyrics also appear in the works of John Audelay (perhaps a priest, he definitely spent the last years of his life at Haughmond Abbey, where he wrote for the monks), in a group of four Marian poems. It appears in Geoffrey Chaucer's ''Miller's Tale'', where the scholar Nicholas sings it in Latin to the accompaniment of his psaltery: :And over all there lay a psaltery :Whereon he made an evening's melody, :Playing so sweetly that the chamber rang; :And Angelus ad virginem he sang; :And after that he warbled the King's Note: :Often in good voice was his merry throat. For many years, "Angelus Ad Virginem" was the first piece of music sung at the annual Bracebridge Dinner, a lavish Christmas feast held at the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite National Park. It was sung as the guests entered the dining room. This piece of music was selected by Ansel Adams in 1929, who was director of the pageant at that time. ==Lyrics== 1.Angelus ad virginem ''The angel, coming secretly'' :Subintrans in conclave.
