Ave Maria in C Major – Gounod

By ACCOMPANIMENT, Instruments In C, Tuba & bombardino

Piano accompaniment of “Ave Maria”,a popular and much-recorded setting of the Latin text Ave Maria, originally published in 1853 as Méditation sur le Premier Prélude de Piano de S. Bach. The piece consists of a melody by the French Romantic composer Charles Gounod especially designed to be superimposed over the Prelude No. 1 in C major, BWV 846, from Book I of J.S. Bach’s The Well-Tempered Clavier, written 137 years earlier.
