This choral anthem, Ave Maria, is scored for soprano solo, SATB choir, piano and guitar. Entirely in Latin, this setting by Feargal King is accessible for moderately skilled SATB choirs, with mostly homophonic choral writing. The range of the solo line is approachable by either soprano or mezzo and is not vocally challenging. Sung entirely by the soloist the first time, the choral parts add warmth but do not distract from the soloist the second time through. The keyboard arrangement provides support and should be played with a delicate touch. A choir can never have too many settings of the beloved Ave Maria text. This one is worthy of inclusion in your choir's library!
