Ave Maria is a traditional Catholic prayer asking for intercession from the Virgin Mary. The prayer has often been set to music.

Frank Gazda has beautifully arranged four musical settings of the prayer for Trombone Quartet or four-part Trombone Ensemble by: Jacob Arcadelt (Renaissance), Johann Joseph Fux (Baroque), Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Classical) and Giuseppe Verdi (Romantic).

Although originally composed as four-part choral settings, they work perfectly for the Trombone. Each piece stands on its own as a work of beauty, or the four can be performed as a whole. They are at a moderately advanced level of difficulty.
