About Ave Maria
Matthew Schellhorn's Ave Maria sets the traditional Latin text of the Angelic Salutation. This motet for SATB choir draws on a long and rich history of composers setting this Marian antiphon. The sacred text, proclaiming "full of grace, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb," is rendered with clear, unadorned beauty. Schellhorn's setting offers a moment of serene reflection, suitable for liturgical use or concert performance. The SATB voicing allows for full, resonant harmonies, providing a devotional atmosphere appropriate to the profound words of the Ave Maria.
