Gounod - Ave Maria
Sheet music for violin
| Info: | Ave Maria is a popular piece, originally published 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. |

| The artist: | Gounod had a particularly strong influence on French composers from the middle of the 19th century. He achieved considerable success in the theatre with operas, but the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 and a period spent in England brought a largely unprofitable interruption. |
