The piece begins with an enigmatic duet between the cello playing pizzicato (representing the steps of God behind his creation) and bright piano arpeggios ending on an unsettling, augmented chord. The first two strophes of the poem are then split between sopranos and altos first, and tenors and basses a little later. All parts finally come together for the main theme of the piece in D major (Why is it). A middle section in the G minor Dorian mode follows – as the poem speaks of our legendary quest for paradise. It is followed by the return of the main theme, this time in B major (And when music). Ensues a theme in C minor whereas creation and our memory of it are described (We vaguely remember the fields). The piece then ends in the manner it began, with pizzicato playing from the cello, and piano arpeggios.

Ave Maria

Vocal Solo Vocal Solo and Piano

The first movement, Magnificat, is an exultant and joyful attempt to convey the excitement of Mary and of the infant in the womb. It leads into the more introspective Quia respexit set for solo soprano, with choral interjections. Follows the Et misericordia/Fecit potentiam, set as a two-sided contrasting unit, with a pensive first half, and an intense fugal second section. Esurientes follows, set exclusively for solo soprano. With Sicut locutus est, the choir is brought back, making way for the glorious entrance of the solo baritone in Lord, now dismiss your servant. At the end of the solo, an orchestral crescendo leads to the re-entry of the chorus for the final peroration of the composition: Gloria Patri. The two soloists join in that exultant conclusion as the opening joyous theme is sounded anew.

Magnificat

SSAATTBB Choral Score

The Gloria – featured in this edition – is in the contrasting key of G major, and much more rhythmically driven than the Kyrie. The form is that of a rondo (ABACA) whereas the opening theme of the movement reappears – albeit with different words – throughout the piece."

Gloria (from "Mass of Saints Peter & Paul")

SSAATTBB Octavo with Piano Reduction

Arranged for SATB quartet or full choir, with optional piano or organ accompaniment, this cherished Advent hymn will be a wonderful addition to your Christmas concert or Advent church service.

O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

SATB Octavo + Optional Piano or Organ

The structure of the Mass is based off the timeless tradition of classically inspired eponymous liturgical settings, with full mixed choir, soloist, and orchestral accompaniment. Many of the great composers wrote in this genre, from Bach to Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven. Faith was an important aspect of the lives of these musicians, and several of them wrote multiple musical settings of the Mass prayers.
