Pawel Lukaszewski: Ave Maria (Mixed Voice Double Chorus A Cappella). SATB Sheet Music

Media Type: Choral Score Media/Arrangement: SATB Category: Vocal and Choral Publisher: Chester Music Order Code: CH75207

Product Description

This piece for double choir (which has a companion Ave maris stella devised for separate performance) is grounded in traditional harmonic progression. An astonishing build-up of devotional intensity is achieved with near-exclusivereference to the notes of the G major diatonic scale. At the pinnacle of the piece an electrifying F natural is introduced, which, in combination with an A minor triad, replicates the climactic chord from the development sectionof the opening movement of Beethoven's 3rd (Eroica) Symphony. The Eroica chord has iconic status in Polish music, playing a major role in the final movement of Górecki's famed Symphony No. 3 (the Symphony of Sorrowful Songs).
