Allenfalls die „Air“ von Johann Sebastian Bach kann es an Popularität mit seinem Satz „Jesus bleibet meine Freude“ aufnehmen: Der Schlusschor aus der Kantate BWV 147 „Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben“ ist in seiner Schlichtheit und Vollkommenheit zugleich zu einem wahren „Ohrwurm“ geworden, an dem man sich kaum satt hören kann.

Vl. 1, Vl. 2, Va., Vc., Kb. viola - easy to intermediate - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q22581 Composed by Peter Cornelius. Arranged by Wolfgang Birtel. This edition: separate part. Downloadable, Individual part. Schott Music - Digital #Q22581. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q22581). The composer Peter Cornelius (1824–1874) from Mainz often called himself a 'poet-composer': All his life, he busied himself with composing and writing alike. No wonder that he had devoted himself particularly to the composition of songs, already in his student days in Berlin in the late 1840s. The newly edited 'Ave Maria' was found among the composer's unpublished works. Although bearing the dedication 'Fräulein von Hillebrandt zum 13. September 1862', it was probably created earlier. It is a simple, chordally accompanied song which is quite suitable for liturgical purposes. The arrangement for strings, which can perform soloistically or in groups, expands the possibilities of use especially for this area.
