Product Description

Samuel M. Hunter's brand new setting of the biblical Latin text, Ave Maria combines Gabriel's greeting of the Virgin Mary at the Annunciation with Mary's cousin Elizabeth's greeting to Mary: "Ave Maria gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus."

A beautiful, varied, and accessible piano accompaniment supports a floating, connected, and expressive vocal line which splits naturally and gracefully into two (and occasionally three) parts, using tasteful modern harmony and interesting counterpoint to color important words in the classic Latin text. A truly beautiful piece, Ave Maria presents many opportunities for exploring creative choral expressivity and an accessible opportunity for young singers to become familiar with the classic "Ave Maria" text. Also, please note that in addition to the concert hall, this piece is also appropriate in the sacred realm in both Catholic and Protestant contexts, as it adheres strictly to the biblical text of the Latin Vulgate itself.
