Michael Leighton Jones has created a brilliant sequence of six Marian works that take their lead from their plainsong counterparts. These wonderfully reflective and carefully-crafted motets take the practice of fauxbourdon in new directions, with free harmonic invention linking old to new in a beautifully warm soundworld. Motets may be performed individually on feast days or within the appropriate liturgical season, or the whole sequence can make an effective frame for a concert programme.

Composed when he was only 10 years old, Emile Serper wrote this about his composition: “It is my hope that this setting of Ave Maria may have a positive impact and be shared in many ways. After I heard my friends in choir rehearsing the piece, I thought the music might also say, 'Hail, Mother Earth!' It is meant to transcend religions and to serve as a prayer for our planet. The earth needs our healing.&rdquo.

Gounod had no qualms about arranging well-known works by earlier masters after his own fashion. Thus in 1852 he added a melody with its own operatic climax to the famous arpeggios of the C-major Prelude BWV 846 from Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier. He first published instrumental versions of it under the title âMéditationâ, then tried fitting various texts to the melody until in 1859 he arrived at the definitive vocal version using the text of the Ave Maria. Already by the 1890s it was claimed that â[we] have heard this sweet melody innumerable times from the best lady singersâ, and its popularity has continued to the present day. Reason enough, then, for Henle Verlag to publish an Urtext edition of this worldwide hit, based on the sources and with appropriate critical commentary. In 1859, at the same time as the original edition for high voice, editions for middle and low voice, presumably commissioned by the publishers, were also issued. Following this model, the Henle Urtext edition of âAve Mariaâ is also offered in two transpositions for the lower register.

The present offertory Ave Maria is one of Haydn's earliest Salzburg sacred compositions. Dating, in all probability, from the year 1765, it displays the modest means and genial lyricism that is typical of his music from the time. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.5034500.

This is one of three early renaissance Marian motets, along with Mouton's Nesciens Mater and de la Rue's Gaude Virgo, edited by Ross Duffin. It is a classic example of this great composer's balanced unfolding of motifs, with two-part paired imitation followed by four-voice imitative sections and punctuations in homophony. Especially, striking is the personal supplication at the end, in the words O rnater dei, memento mei. Fazer Editions of Early Music is a choral series under the editorial supervision of Paul Hillier, founder and artistic director of the renowned Hilliard Ensemble. Although each title in this series is the result of careful scholarly research and is a reliable source for musicologists, the series' main purpose is to make practical performing editions available to choirs and other vocal ensembles. The original C clefs have been replaced by G and F clefs and the note values adapted to conform to modern practice. All the works in the series are intended for mixed voices. Each title includes a lengthy introduction in English and notes on the editorial principles. Where necessary, an English translation of the text and a guide to pronunciation are provided.

When creating our Simple Gifts series, we envisioned the following as the standard: a quality piece by an established composer who could craft simple, but never simplistic, music for smaller choirs. Bob Moore’s setting of the “Ave Mariaâ€â€”which certainly fits this description—will have use throughout the church year. Choirs will enjoy the flowing lyricism of the vocal writing, so aptly joined to this venerable text.
