Encyclopedia > Ave Maria

Ave Maria (Latin: Hail, Maria or Hail, Mary) may refer to:

  • Hail Mary, a traditional Catholic and Eastern Orthodox prayer calling for the intercession of Mary, the mother of Jesus
  • A musical rendition of the Ave Maria prayer by Gounod (set to Prelude #1 from Well-Tempered Clavier). See Sibelius score
  • Ave Maria (Biebl), a choral rendering of the prayer by Franz Biebl
  • Ave Maria (Schubert), composition for voice and Piano, only by Franz Schubert
    • (a) set by himself to Adam Storck's German rendering of Sir Walter Scott's Hymn to the Virgin from The Lady of the Lake, that has the greeting Ave Maria for its opening words and refrain, but had been entitled by Schubert himself Ellens dritter Gesang;
    • (b) in a later adaptation where Schubert's original Scott/Storck text has been substituted with the complete Latin text of the traditional Ave Maria prayer, the adaptation perhaps most frequently performed and best known today.
