Tota pulchra es

Tota pulchra es is a Catholic prayer written in the fourth century. The title means "You are completely beautiful" (referring to the Virgin Mary). It speaks of her immaculate conception. Some of its verses are used as antiphons for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. It takes some text from the book of Judith, and other text from the Song of Songs, specifically 4:7.

Composers to set the prayer to music include Robert Schumann, Anton Bruckner, Pablo Casals, Maurice Duruflé, Guillaume du Fay, Grzegorz Gerwazy Gorczycki, Heinrich Isaac, James MacMillan., Jose Mauricio Nunes Garcia, and Ola Gjeilo.
