	Composer's Note: Ave Maria or Hail Mary is a very deep and strong, but at the same time very simple and modest prayer. I often find beauty in simplicity. That is why the composition consists of simple melodies and is harmonized within the bounds of tonality and modality. The main theme is composed of fragments of a Gregorian chant, which then develops into an improvised melody. The piece is written for choir and baritone solo and it illustrates a kind of prayer in a church. The choir represents group praying, whilst the soloist represents the voice of every individual within the group, every individual with their own distress and their own prayer. The composition was in the making around the time I was in a hospital for health reasons. This prayer came to mind lots of times. The piece is dedicated to my loving wife Ana, who selfelssly stood by me through that time.
