Product Description
This is a meditative and reverential SATB choral setting of the 'Hail Mary' prayer in Latin, with piano (or organ) accompaniment. The piece unusually sets the familiar text within an aching minor key, in a slow tempo, and with generally quiet dynamics. A highly memorable, singable and repetitive main theme is supported by rippling arpeggios over a descending bass line. Within the rocking 6/8 time signature, an often modal accompaniment also features chains of gently warm seventh chords. The work is appropriate for most standards of 4-part choir, including school, student, community, church and cathedral choirs. Versions of the work for solo voice, and for SA choir, are also available via Sheet Music Plus.
Duration: 4 minutes 40 seconds.
