A work for mixed chorus S.A.T.B. a cappella, on the Latin text “Ave Maria,” dedicated to the Holy Virgin Mary.
Written between May 18 and 22, 1994, it was revised in 1995 and again in 1997.
It is characterized by a formal classical architecture and an expressive use of chromatic harmony that never strays far from tonality, except in the final measures where the voice leading is characterized by a free diatonism.
