General Information
Title: Ave Maria
Composer: Maggie Furtak
Lyricist:
Number of voices: 4vv Voicing: SATB
Genre: Sacred, Anthem
Language: Latin
Instruments: A cappella
Published: 2014
Description: I posted this in the SATB section, but there are a few notes of divisi here and there. If your group is particularly small, you can leave out the doubled notes, or throw an alto on the 1st tenor note where it divides. Moderately difficult, only because of some polyphonic sections, but most intervals are small and easy. Lots of stepwise motion. Easy rhythms. Range is very comfortable in all parts. I always love feedback, so if you try this piece, let me know how you liked it. In particular, I'd like to know anything that could have been more clearly marked or that seemed needlessly difficult.
