Ave Maria [HL:48007044]

First published in Germany in 1964, Franz Biebl's Ave Maria was originally scored for seven-part men¹s choir. This expressive transcription is based on a mixed choir version in order to better match the registration of a wind ensemble. Layered woodwinds and brass create the effect of the choral version's overlapping male and female voices. Dur: 5:40

Audio recorded by the Duquesne University Wind Symphony; Robert Cameron, conductor
