Ave Maria

"Ave Maria" by Charles Gounod is a classical piece composed in 1859, which consists of a melody superimposed over the Prelude No. 1 in C major from Book I of Johann Sebastian Bach's "The Well-Tempered Clavier." Gounod's arrangement has become one of the most popular settings of the Latin prayer "Ave Maria," with its serene melody and harmonies evoking a sense of reverence and spirituality. The piece has been widely performed in various contexts, including religious ceremonies, concerts, and recordings, and it remains a beloved part of the classical music repertoire.
