Added by magataganm, 23 Nov 2014 Ave Maria based on a prelude by J.S. Bach written by French Romantic composer Charles Gounod in 1859 as the "Consideration on Bach's prelude". His Ave Maria consists of a melody superimposed over the Prelude No. 1 in C major, BWV 846, from Book I of The Well-Tempered Clavier, written by J.S. Bach some 137 years earlier. I took some creative license and added a Violin Part and transcribed the rest for Viola & Cello. I found this to be a hauntingly interesting blend of old and new and utilized the rich strings to accentuate transitions between melody and dissonance; providing musical interest with their overtones to provide suspense and melodic resolution.
