Product Description
This is a meditative and reverential two-part (or duet) 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 2-part choir, including school, student, community, church and cathedral choirs. Versions of the work for solo voice, and for SATB choir, are also available via Sheet Music Plus.
Duration: 4 minutes 40 seconds.
