By Ron k Wiggins. Composed by J.S. Bach and Charles Gounod. Arranged by Ron k Wiggins. Christian,Classical,Wedding. Guitar Tab. 2 pages. WigMusic #902507. Published by WigMusic (A0.1313929).
J.S. Bach (1685-1750) wrote a series of 24 compositions, one for each major and minor key, and he called it “The Well Tempered Clavier,” which was a keyboard type instrument. The “Prelude in C” has been transcribed by a number of people for classical guitar. It is basically a beautiful chord progression with a picking pattern. About 110 years later the French composer, Charles Gounod, added a melody to it and called it “Ave Maria.” It became known as the “Bach-Gounod Ave Maria,” and you can often hear it played as a duet for flute and piano.
Tarrega actually transcribed it for classical guitar in the late 1800s but you would need virtuoso skills to play it. As playability is always a priority in my arrangements I made some compromises.
I kept the melody and chord progression and, to the extent I could, the bass notes. But the voicing, those notes between the bass and melody that were real important to Bach, I just let fall where they may and used common guitar chord forms.
The end result Is beautiful, recognizable, and quite playable.
