Matsushita's Ave Maria is a very intimate short unaccompanied piece of true inward devotion. An experienced composer, Matsushita has chosen a tonal musical language for this homophonic piece. His enchanting modulations, well-placed and precisely-judged, are particularly effective without overloading the simple character of the work. All the parts are written in comfortable registers throughout and without divisi, so that the piece can easily be performed by all choirs. In short: a jewel! Score available separately - see item CA.967800.

The Mass in B flat, op. 172, dates from 1892 and was published in two authentic versions. The instrumental accompaniment can be played either by an ensemble of wind instruments or by organ. Between Gloria and Credo Rheinberger placed a powerfully expressive a cappella Ave Maria, probably due to the fact that the Mass was first performed on a major feast day of the Virgin Mary: on the feast of Purification (Candlemas) in Breslau Cathedral.
