Description

SAATTBB w/ Bass & Tenor Soli

Ave Maria by Franz Biebl is a motet composed for double choir, a large four-part choir and a three-part choir which can be performed by soloists. It is a setting of part of the Latin liturgical Angelus prayer, which contains the Ave Maria (Hail Mary) as a refrain. The composition was originally written for men's chorus, but the composer wrote arrangements for mixed choir and women's choir.

The piece first became famous when a U.S. group, the Cornell University Glee Club, included it in their Christmas programs, and more famous when the Chanticleer ensemble made it part of their regular repertoire.

Performance Time: approx 6:00

The text is the beginning of the Latin Catholic liturgical Angelus prayer, three verses based on biblical sources, with the Ave Maria as a refrain. In Biebl's setting, the Ave Maria refrain contains only the first half of the Ave Maria prayer, the benediction of Mary and the fruit of her womb, Jesus. The second half, praying for Mary's intercession, is delivered as a conclusion, deviating slightly from the liturgical text by addressing Mary as Holy Mother twice, asking firstly for intercession with “us sinners”, and secondly for “in the hour of our death”, while the Ave Maria prayer combines both requests in one. The prayer is closed by Amen.

et concepit de Spiritu Sancto. And she conceived by the Holy Spirit.
&nbsp Ave Maria, gratia plena, &nbsp Hail Mary, full of grace,

Maria dixit: Mary said:
Ecce ancilla Domini Behold the handmaiden of the Lord.
Fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum. Do to me according to your word.
