Anglicans, Independent Catholics, and Old Catholics.
Some Protestant denominations, such as Lutherans, also
make use of a form of the prayer.
Based on the greeting of the angel Gabriel to the
Virgin Mary in the Gospel of Luke, the prayer takes
different forms in various traditions. It has often
been set to music, although the most famous musical
expression of the words Ave Maria by Schubert does not
actually contain the Hail Mary prayer.
Although this traditional German Carol was originally
written for Chorus (SATB), I created a lead part and
arranged it for Viola and Acoustic Piano.
