"Ave Maria" est une priere tres simple et interiorisee, composee pour quatre voix de femmes (solistes ou choeur un petit choeur est peut-etre le choix musical le mieux adapte). Les accords, l'harmonie pour employer un terme technique, sont plutot simples, marques par un sentiment de "tonalite elargie", ou de modalite, par une tendresse de la dissonance aussi jamais dementie. D'autre part, aucune brutalite, aucun eclat de voix dans la dynamique qui reste dans la douceur de "pp" a "mf". La melodie procede plutot par petits intervalles, dans l'esprit de cette imploration confiante dictee par le texte. De breves vocalises soulignent certains mots essentiels: "peccatoribus", "mortis", "ora". Quelques silences, a la fin de cette courte priere, accentuent l'instance de la priere. L'Amen final sonne comme une cadence inachevee, partiellement resolue.
'Ave Maria' is a very simple, very internalised prayer for four female voice lines. (These may be solo or choral - perhaps the musical ideal would be a small choir.) The chording (or harmony, to use a technical term) aims for simplicity, marked by a feeling of 'expanded tonality' or of modality, as well as by an ever-present fondness for dissonance. Furthermore, there is an absence of brutality or vocal outbursts, the dynamics remain gentle throughout (from 'pp' to 'mf'). The melody proceeds by small intervals, in the spirit of confident entreaty that is implied by the text. Short passages of vocalise underline certain essential words ('peccatoribus', 'mortibus', 'ora'). Some moments of silence at the end of this short piece accentuate the earnestness of the prayer. The final 'Amen' is in the form of an imperfect cadence, only partially resolved.
