About Ave Maria a 8
The familiar words of the Ave Maria are set here for double choir (SSSAA TTB or SSMezACtTBarB) in a grand and devotional motet. The composer uses the text, which translates to Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, to create a rich and sonorous sacred work. The eight-part voicing allows for a wide range of harmonic colour and expressive possibilities, ideal for creating a profound musical setting of this iconic Marian antiphon. This is a significant and compelling setting for advanced choirs.
