The History of the Song 'Ave Maria'

The song Ave Maria is one of the most beloved and recognized pieces of classical music. It is a musical setting of the Latin prayer Hail Mary and is often performed at religious ceremonies such as weddings and funerals. The history of Ave Maria dates back several centuries and has been shaped by numerous composers and cultural influences.

The origins of the prayer Hail Mary can be traced back to the Bible, where it is recorded in the Gospel of Luke. The prayer is a traditional Catholic devotional that honors the Virgin Mary, and has been an important part of Catholic liturgy and piety for centuries.

The musical setting of Ave Maria that is most commonly known today was composed by the Austrian composer Franz Schubert in 1825. Schubert's version of Ave Maria was originally written as part of a song cycle titled Die schöne Müllerin (The Beautiful Miller's Wife) but it soon became popular as a standalone piece.

Schubert's version of Ave Maria was written for voice and piano, and its soaring melody and gentle accompaniment captured the beauty and reverence of the prayer. Schubert's composition has been performed and recorded countless times by musicians around the world, and it remains one of his most beloved and enduring works.

In addition to Schubert's version, Ave Maria has been set to music by many other composers over the years, including Johann Sebastian Bach, Charles Gounod, and Giulio Caccini. Each composer's interpretation of the prayer reflects their own unique cultural and musical influences, and has contributed to the diverse and rich history of this beloved piece of music.

Today, Ave Maria remains a cherished part of religious and cultural celebrations around the world, and its timeless beauty and spiritual power continue to inspire and uplift listeners of all backgrounds and beliefs.

'I Saw Three Ships (Come Sailing In)' arrangement for solo guitar by Antony Cull.

Introduction

This arrangement is aimed at intermediate level guitarists with a good control of natural harmonics and basic fingerstyle. The whole piece has the harmonic structure written in the chords above, which can be strummed by another player to turn the piece into a duet. Alternatively you can use these chords to accompany a singer and add the solo guitar arrangement as a introduction.

Performance Notes

The first section outlines the basic harmony, often omitting notes from the chords above, to outline the melody. To keep each section distinct, keep the pace of this section slow and expressive.

The next section has a celtic inspired feel, with the constant quavers throughout to drive the piece forward. Note the increase in tempo, but adjust to a comfortable speed for your ability as you are mostly aiming to play faster then the introduction. Practice this section slowly at first, taking time to choose the most comfortable finger position. Once you have the fingering locked in, work on making the melody pop out from the over all picking pattern, relax the attack on the thumb to help this.

The third section uses natural harmonics to play the melody. To play a natural harmonic place you fretting finger lightly on the string above the stated fret. As you pick the string, remove your you finger and you should get a bell like tome that sounds a different pitch to the open string. Let each string ring out after each harmonic is played over the subsequent notes until another note is played on that string. In bar 19 and 23 there is a single fretted note so be prepared to switch technique on a dime. This will create a rich harp like feel to the piece that will give a really christmassy feel.

The only big change in the coda is a gentle ritardando and an arppegiated harmonic across three strings. Gently place a finger across the three strings and role them off the as they are picked.  

Final Thoughts

I am a really big fan of tight arrangements and love constructing arrangements for my students. One of my greatest challenges is creating performance pieces for guitarists that don't sing. This is especially ponient during the holidays when everyone wants to hear all the classics. This piece is extremely musical and the harmonics are a real crowd pleaser.

Key: D minor
Tuning: Drop D Tuning
Pages: 1

This arrangement has a heavy metal vibe to it because of the key, tuning, dissonance and making it idiomatic for guitar.

Tips:
1. Perhaps the constantly occuring D bass notes could be called a pedal. This term originates from organs that have pedals for low pitches. So the A7/D is bizarre, but it isn't so strange that a classical composer wouldn't use it. Bach does this often. 
2. Use the chord charts to aid in improvising more repeats. Since this is meant for a commercial, it is breif. 
3. Be careful not to accidently bump into the second thinnest string on guitar: a B. The key of d minor has a Bb, so in this case, that string is a hot lava string.
4. The final ending would be called a Perfect Authentic Cadence. This is because for the final chord, the soprano and bass are the home note (D), a.k.a. tonic. 
5. Guitar position text explains where your index finger should be, NOT what fret is about to come next.
6. The A+11 chord can be easier to understand by calling it a Cadential 6/4 chord. This is a classical music cliche and composition trick. The trick is that a home chord (tonic) with the 5th note in the key in the bass, actually sounds more like an away chord (dominant) with a lot of suspended notes on it. To be even vaguer; it's a common strategy to add a lot of dissonance to the last chord in the chord progression.
