Ave Maria by Cornelius Verdonck — Lyrics
About Ave Maria
Cornelius Verdonck was a composer of the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods. His Ave Maria is a sacred motet in Latin, set for various SATB, STTB, and ATTB voicings. The text is the familiar angelic salutation, expressing the blessing of Mary. Verdonck’s setting, often found in collections of motets from the period, likely reflects the contrapuntal traditions of its time. The varied voicing options offer directors flexibility in programming this devotional setting of a well-loved prayer.
