Ave Maria
Ave Maria is a Catholic prayer that consequently asks for the mother of Jesus (Mary) to intercede. Charles Gounod composed a famous version of the Ave Maria. He was a French Romantic composer who overlaid a new melody on an existing Bach chord progression. The progression is from Bach?s Prelude No. 1 from Well-Tempered Clavier I. This version, as well as Schubert?s version, have become essential items at weddings, masses, and funerals.

This is beautifully arranged for harp and violin. With this download, you receive the score, the harp part and the violin part.
