History
The text of Mit dir, Maria, singen wir was written in French; it was translated into German by the Protestant pastor and social worker Eugen Eckert in 1994. It is in four stanzas with a refrain that opens the song. The song paraphrases the Magnificat. While many Marian hymns are sung to Mary, this song is sung in solidarity with her Magnificat, as the refrain indicates.
The text was set to music by Jean-Claude Gianadda. The melody is in B major and common time, in the style of a chanson.
The song is part of Junges Gotteslob, the Catholic hymnal for young people, and of songbooks. It was included in several regional sections of the Catholic hymnal Gotteslob in 2013.
