A lyrical organ part introduces a simple soprano motive that opens into SATB passages rich with suspensions to add extra warmth to familiar, pastoral harmony. Imagine the feeling of motherly love that must have overwhelmed the virgin Mary when her cousin Elizabeth praised her! This Ave Maria was composed to evoke such feelings of love, gratitude, joy and glory. Let its self-saucing simplicity of means warm your soul and lift your heart - perfect for Advent, Christmas or a wedding.
