- Description
- Ave Maria (Ellens Gesang III, D839, Op. 52 No. 6) was composed in 1825 by Franz Schubert. The piece was created as part of a song from Walter Scott's epic poem "The Lady of the Lake," translated into German by Adam Storck (1780-1822). Therefore, it is an integral part of Schubert's song cycle for "Fräulein vom See," based on "The Lady of the Lake."
The arrangement is by Welligton Sousa, designed for String Orchestra and solo (in various transpositions) in the key of G. Additionally, a rhythmic adaptation was made, replacing sixteenth notes with eighth notes in a 12/8 time signature, aiming to enhance readability for the musicians. This exquisite rendition is also adaptable for a string quartet. Furthermore, this arrangement proves to be an excellent choice for various occasions, such as Easter, Mother's Day, Christmas, weddings, and other religious events. Its evocative and timeless qualities make it a versatile and enchanting addition to concerts that celebrate significant moments and traditions.
