This is a meditative and reverential solo voice (or unison voices) setting of the 'Hail Mary' prayer in Latin, with piano (or organ) accompaniment. The piece unusually sets the familiar text within an aching minor key, in a slow tempo, and with generally quiet dynamics. A highly memorable, singable and repetitive main theme is supported by rippling arpeggios over a descending bass line. Within the rocking 6/8 time signature, an often modal accompaniment also features chains of gently warm seventh chords. The piece is appropriate for most standards of solo soprano or tenor, or unison choir. This Ave Maria, by the same composer, is also available from Sheet Music Plus in versions for SATB choir, and for SA choir.
The full YouTube video provided is of a live performance given on 16/5/23, with Abigail Birch-Price (voice) and the composer (piano), at All Hallows' Church, Allerton, Liverpool, England, UK.
