SKU: A0.844445
Composed by Phil Beaman. 20th Century,Multicultural,New Age,Sacred,World. 4 pages. Phil Beaman #3364781. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.844445).The current media call this style of music "Spiritual Minimalism". This particular composition utilizes the centering 'ah' of Buddhism, the meditative resting periods of Zen, the plainchant of Christianity, the minimalism of New Age, and more.
The lyrics quote only the first 3 phrases of the traditional Ave Maria text. These 6 words are in common across most usages regardless of region or religion or purpose and impart a broader blessing. These 6 words are interspersed throughout the piece with the "Ave" (Hail) high in the range for celebration, "Gratia" (Grace) mid-range for acceptance, and "Dominus" (God) low in the range for humility.
The vocal range of the song is thus quite large - a full two octaves. The High version goes from a B flat below the Treble Staff to an A flat above the Treble Staff. The Low version (a third lower) goes from a low G to a high F.
The accompaniment is a circling minimalist 2 chord ostinato for the entire piece.
Whether for personal meditation or public performance, this piece will relax, focus, and recharge all who perform it and hear it.
(4 pages, 3:45 minutes)-- live recording of High version attached)
