Large Ensemble Cello,Flute,Harp,Low Voice,Medium Voice,Oboe,Violin - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.836145 Composed by Melody by Charles Gounod, based on Prelude in C by J. S. Bach. Arranged by Stephanie Bennett. Christian,Christmas,Contemporary,Sacred,Wedding. Score and parts. 15 pages. Harpworld Music Co. #6235681. Published by Harpworld Music Co. (A0.836145). The beautiful prayer AVE MARIA, melody by Charles Gounod (1818-1893) based on PRELUDE IN C by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750). Adapted beautifully for pedal harp, with alto voice (vocal range from G below middle C, to the second E above middle C). Voice part could be sung by a baritone an octave lower than written. Flute, violin or oboe (playing an octave higher than written) may be substituted for the voice. There is an optional cello part (doubling the low notes of the harp part), so it can be played as a duo OR a trio. Perfect for any Christian occasion: Christmastime, funerals, weddings (especially the 'Marian presentation' of some Catholic weddings, in which the bride offers flowers to a statue of Virgin Mary). About 4 minutes and 20 seconds long with the repeat (or 2 minutes and 10 seconds long if you don't take the repeat, but go directly to the second ending). The PDF includes ALL three parts. The harp part also shows the vocal part on a small staff. There is a separate part (included) for the voice (or flute or violin or oboe) and a separate part (included) for the cello. The layout is such that if you can print out double-sided, the harp part and the vocal part have front and back covers. The cello part is only one page. Arranged by Stephanie Bennett (One of our country's top harpists - the Hollywood Reporter), www.harpworld.com.
