Ave Maria by Jean-Baptiste Faure — Lyrics
About Ave Maria
Jean-Baptiste Faure, a French composer and singer, wrote this Ave Maria for two-part female voices. The Latin text is a prayer to the Virgin Mary, a familiar and beloved part of Catholic tradition. The lyrics themselves are taken from the Gospel of Luke and the traditional Ave Maria prayer, expressing blessings and divine favour. Faure's setting is a cherished example of sacred music, offering a moment of devotion and beauty. Its simple yet profound melody makes it a suitable choice for services or concerts where a devotional atmosphere is desired. The clear melodic lines and harmonious blend make it accessible for many choirs.
