CANTUS: Ave Maria by Franz Biebl

[@davidhoadley39]

What a treat! I'm a Lutheran pastor, and my wife is Catholic. On July 11, 2015 a group of friends sang this song at our wedding to honor her history.

[@RiffRaffAK]

As a singer who also has been fascinated with acoustics most of my adult life, it is inspiring to hear such pristine singing in truly wonderfully unique settings.

I've come back to this recording several times now, one of my very favorites. So beautifully done.

Magnificent. Prayer to Our Mother in Heaven

That is the best Biebl Ave Maria I have ever heard. Bravo, gentlemen!

Quite wonderful singing and acoustics. Thank you for the chance to hear this setting of a great solo choral work.

We need beauty in our lives, something that connects us with Mystery, with Love. Thank you !

Found you folks on A Prairie Home Companion about a decade ago back when Garrison Keillor was still running the show. You never fail to disappoint. Thank you.

Je fond littéralement sur tant de beauté et simplicité. Quelle justesse.. Quelle chance avez-vous ...

[@theGabrielMagalhaes]

This song is very nice

[@crisha721]

Bravo! Very beautiful! I wish I could see the basses too. Sadly their faces were not filmed.

[@gesianeaires7355]

Uauuu , que lindo 💖🙏🌹

[@sesemuller4086]

This sounds just as good as when we sung it!

[@Wizardofgosz]

Wow. Such a different room than the 2011 performance. All of the parallel walls are adding lots of room modes and resonances. They needed to be corrected for (as best they could) in post production.

[@YuleeNewsome]

It’s fun to try and figure out who is singing your part. I sing choir 1 first tenor and think the person in the white shirt and black sweater sings that part.

[@kitstr]

There are 8 singers but how many parts ?

I wonder why the song was titled Ave Maria, but it is the Angelus prayer.

[@jeanmo22]

Because it becomes the Ave Maria- Ave Maria is interspersed between each verse of the Angelus. The dual choirs mimic the call and response of the Hail Mary when prayed.

[@L1011MD11]

@@jeanmo22 still the entire song is the Angelus prayer in Latin not the Ave Maria. If it was just the lyrics of Ave Maria, then it should be titled as such.

[@gihgihs]

can you imagine you think you husband have a love affair and then you follow him and find him ina studio singing like this .

[@jaygardner2338]

Beautiful performance! THANK YOU for singing out and for singing with vibrato! I get so tired of the ugly, white, vibrato-less sound of most vocal groups. Also, I clearly need to suck it up and get an Ipad. LOL.
