About Ave Maria
The familiar words of the Ave Maria are set here for SATB choir in Latin. The text, drawn from the Gospel of Luke, opens with the Angel Gabriel's greeting to Mary: "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb." Francisco Alcantar's setting captures the devotional spirit of this Marian antiphon, offering a rich harmonic language suitable for sacred occasions. This anthem provides a profound musical meditation on one of the most cherished texts in the Christian tradition.
