This arrangement bounces along with quite a bit of syncopation in both the melodies and the accompaniment patterns. This syncopation is perhaps the trickiest aspect of this arrangement. There is a lot of divisi in the soprano and alto parts - enough to warrant the description SSAATB.

In 2015, Fr. Paulo Tanzini, former pastor of Church of the Assumption in Emerson, NJ, commissioned me to write a piece for the fiftieth anniversary of the building to be celebrated in mid-August of the same year during the recognition of Mary's Assumption. Although this was to be a fiftieth year jubilee, the parish had been in existence for many decades prior, and many of the choir members had been parishioners since the construction of the new building and some even before.Myidea was to ask the choir members to participate in this piece by expressing their thoughts regarding their devotion to Mary, and from their writing I would assemble their words into a lyric.

Initially, A Prayer to Mary was composed as a unison/octave setting, after which I arranged it for SATB with piano accompaniment. Most important in the performance of this piece is to approach it with a generous amount of expression and rubato in several areas so that the meanings of the individual lyric phrases become meaningful and not just words.


I have included chord symbols in the score for those who wish to personalize their own accompaniments; however, chord symbols do not, and in several cases cannot capture the exact content of the accompaniment. It would be beneficial to analyze the content of the written accompaniment before assuming that the chord symbols reflect the exact harmony.


A Prayer To Mary can be appropriately performed during Mother's Day, the celebration of The Assumption of Mary in mid-August, as a communion meditation or any time during which special devotions are warranted.

Composed by David Fawcett. Christian,Christmas,Contemporary,Sacred. Octavo. 4 pages. Chromata Music #3256833. Published by Chromata Music (A0.992142).

The words of this carol/motet in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary are well-known from Benjamin Britten’s work of the same name, but that double-choir setting is out of the reach of many choirs. The powerful, devotional text, alternating English and Latin in the style of medieval carols, warrants an additional, simpler setting. Here it is set for unaccompanied SATB choir without divisions.

The work is suitable for concert performance, as well as for liturgical use during Advent, at Christmas or on feasts of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
