About Ave Maria, Op. 3
The familiar Latin text of the Ave Maria is set here for SATB choir. The words express the angelic greeting, "Hail full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb." Geringer's setting, Op. 3, offers a sacred motet suitable for liturgical use or concert performance. This is a devotional setting, drawing on a text deeply significant in Christian tradition. Its straightforward voicing makes it accessible, while its text provides a profound devotional focus for the choir and listeners alike.
