Ave Maria by Davide Da Ros — Lyrics
About Ave Maria
Davide Da Ros sets the familiar Latin text of the Ave Maria for TTBB male voices. This is a sacred motet, a genre often used for liturgical settings. The composer’s setting of the Hail Mary prayer draws on the rich tradition of Marian devotions in Western music. The text, beginning with the angel’s salutation to Mary, praises her and her divine son. Da Ros’s approach to this devotional text for TTBB choir explores the expressive possibilities of male voices in a sacred context. The piece offers a substantial and evocative setting of a universally recognised prayer, suitable for liturgical or concert use.
