By The Candlelight Guitarist. By J.S. Bach / traditional. Arranged by Brad Powell. Baroque,Classical,Holiday,Instructional,Traditional. Guitar Tab. 4 pages. Geofonica Artistworks #976750. Published by Geofonica Artistworks (A0.1393268).

This is a mash-up of the traditional Happy Birthday melody superimposed over J.S. Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 Prelude, arranged for solo classical guitar. This arrangement involved careful editing of essential elements of the Cello Suite Prelude (not the entire piece), tuning the guitar's 5th and 6th strings down a whole step, and adjusting harmonies of the Cello Suite to match Happy Birthday, still retaining Bach's compositional style.  It's an intermediate level classical fingerstyle, similar in difficulty to the Sor Etudes. You can see & hear the full arrangement performed in the YouTube link provided.  LYRICS are included in both English and German.

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.
