Ave Maria (Concert Band - Score and Parts)

Schubert's famous Ave Maria was originally titled Ellens dritter Gesang and was the sixth song in the Fr?ulein vom See song cycle (after The Lady of the Lake by Walter Scott). Later the Latin prayer Ave Maria was set to the melody, creating one of his most well-known sacred songs ever. In this arrangement the melody line can be played by either a solo trumpet or by the entire trumpet section. Either option creates a wonderful atmosphere that will entertain and enlighten your audience. 0:04:20

Ave Maria (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Biebl, Franz - Cameron, Robert

First published in Germany in 1964, Franz Biebl's Ave Maria was originally scored for seven-part men?s choir. This expressive transcription is based on a mixed choir version in order to better match the registration of a wind ensemble. Layered woodwinds and brass create the effect of the choral version's overlapping male and female voices. Duration: 5:40

Ave Maria (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Bruckner, Anton - Kreines, Joseph

Anton Bruckner (1824-1896) is known today primarily for his massive symphonies for orchestra. However, he also composed a number of vocal works for forces of varying size and character, including three settings of the Ave Maria. This setting was originally for alto voice and organ, and ulike the other settings, dates from Bruckner's mature years. It reflects all of the notable characteristics of his style - simple but rich textures, bold and surprising harmonic progressions and a fervently religious mood. Stunning! Duration: 4.00

Ave Maria (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Memley, Kevin A. - Hazzard, Preston

Originally a composition for chorus by Kevin A. Memley, this adaptation by Preston Hazzard makes expert use of the various tone colours available for band. Cascading waterfall effects are represented in the mallet percussion and woodwinds, while an underlying rhythmic texture provides a flowing background for the lyric melody. The piece builds nicely to a full band climax before returning to a quiet and delicate mood for the close.Duration: 4:15

Ave Maria (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Rachmaninoff, Sergei - Beck, Brian

This moving piece embodies all the simplicity of Russian Orthodox music, yet displays the sweeping beauty of Rachmaninov's lyricism. Conductors will appreciate the opportunity to teach extended phrases and legato style. "Vespers" is the sunset evening prayer of the Orthodox Church, and during the canonical hours of an all-night vigil, the "Ave Maria" would be sung at midnight, hence the 12 chime notes at the apex of the piece. For a special effect, the mallet parts can be doubled off-stage to simulate church bells.Duration: 2:40

Ave Maria (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Schubert, Franz - Doss, Thomas

The Ave Maria by Franz Schubert is known and loved worldwide and was originally written as part of the song cycle The Lady of the Lake. In the course of time, the German text has been replaced by the traditional Latin prayer so often that the song has become known as the Ave Maria by Schubert. This lyrical melody, stirring in its simplicity, is complemented by a murmuring accompaniment that imitates a harp, a feature that Thomas Doss fully does justice to in this arrangement.Duration: 6:30
