Baroque,Classical,Religious,Sacred,Wedding. 8 pages. Homco/Crinion #1039539. Published by Homco/Crinion (A0.1460647). The basic music for this setting of the Latin prayer Ave Maria is J. S. Bach's Prelude in C from his Well-Tempered Clavier of 1722. In 1853 French composer Charles Gounod superimposed the lyrical solo melody and the words. This Ave Maria - known as the Bach/Gounod version - is used at Weddings, Masses, Funerals and solemn occasions. In this Trio arrangement, Gounod's beautiful melody is covered entirely by the 2nd Violin!! The 1st Violin instead undulates on a descant, while the Cello & Viola cover the arpeggiated chords from Bach's original work. Give your 2nd Violinist a chance to shine in the limelight for a change! He/she deserves it!
