This one of a kind album pairs two of the most performed Ave Maria's for violin and piano, meticulously edited by Jascha Heifetz' protege, Endre Granat. The first of these is Schubert's melody, which was originally composed as a setting of a song from Walter Scott's popular narrative poem The Lady of the Lake, titled, “Ellen's Third Song” (Ellens dritter Gesang). The opening words and refrain of Ellen's song, namely “Ave Maria” (Latin for “Hail Mary”), may have led to the idea of adapting Schubert's melody as a setting for the full text of the traditional Roman Catholic prayer. The Latin version of the song is now so frequently used with Schubert's melody that it has led to the misconception that he originally wrote the melody as a setting for the “Ave Maria.” The second Ave Maria in this collection was created when Gounod famously improvised the melody over the background of J.S. Bach's Prelude No. 1 in C major, BWV 846, from The Well-Tempered Clavier. Gounod's beatiful improvisation was transcribed by his future father-in-law Pierre-Joseph-Guillaume Zimmermann, which was published with the Bach keyboard accompaniment in 1835 under the title “Méditation sur le Premier Prélude de Piano de S. Bach.” Alongside Schubert's version, the Bach/Gounod Ave Maria has become a fixture at funerals, wedding masses, and quinceañeras. Both works have been recorded hundreds of times during the twentieth century.

SSAATTBB choir, a cappella - Difficult

SKU: PL.0011

Composed by Peter Pindar Stearns. Cathedral. Choral, General. Octavo. Paraclete Press #0011. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.0011).

This is an extraordinary setting of a beloved text. Its many challenges will stimulate choirs of advanced abilities and will provide endless possibilities for interpretation. The piece opens with the male voices singing a long melody that builds until all voices have sung it. Dominus tecum is then set quite chromatically as a stark contrast to the simple modality of the opening. A contrapuntal section follows which reaches a broad climax at the words Sancta Maria Mater Dei. A lovely ascending phrase is repeated three times: Ave maria. The piece concludes with an Amen setting using the opening material and ends in the major mode. This is a major addition to the choral repertory and advanced choirs will find it a stimulating and refreshing challenge.

Composed by Johannes Brahms. German title: Ave Maria op.12. Sacred vocal music, Feasts of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Hymns in praise of the Virgin Mary. Single Part, Double Bass. Composed 1858. Op. 12. 2 pages. Duration 5 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 40.180/15. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.4018015).

ISBN 9790007064099. Key: F major. Language: Latin/English.

Brahms's Ave Maria was composed in 1858. The widely-held opinions in the literature on Brahms - that the work has justifiably been forgotten, the part-writing is monotonous and the style and diction is ponderous - don't do justice to a truly charming piece, based on folksong-like models. Score and part available separately - see item CA.4018000.
