Juneau's setting for SSA voices and piano or harp was inspired by the Latin text from the Middle Ages. The simple, serene, and haunting melody employs polyphonic imitation in which each vocal line is equal in importance. While Ave Maria can easily stand alone in performance, it may be paired with one or both of the other two movements from Magnum Mysterium : I. O Magnum Mysterium (CM9335) and III. Resonate in Laudibus (CM9277). The harp part is available as a free download at www.carlfischer.com.
