Franz Biebl, during World War II, was a prisoner of war in a prison camp in Battle Creek, Michigan. Before the war, he composed this Ave Maria for his local Fire Department choir because when the fire engines had been polished and there were no alarms, the custom in Bavaria was to sing, and there were even competitions among Fire Department choirs.

Incredible! Bravo to those tubas. They sounded like a pipe organ.

I love finding the band versions of my favorite choral songs and this is no exception.

[@brucekuehn4031]

That would be a wonderful experience for an audience to feel the “surround sound” as in the olden days of Gabrieli!

Phenomenal work. Its criminal that this only has 4,500 views. Well done, Marines.

Having sung this, I know how hard it is to perform. Kudos to the band- amazing directing the "two" bands from across the concert space. Beautiful sound. Well done, all!
