Ave Maria. Josquin des Prez. A cappella. Sacred , Motet. Language. Latin. SATB.Original
This 4-part Ave Maria of Josquin des Prez was extremely popular in the sixteenth century, through its then “new” more “open” style. fewer melismas, parts set with just two voices. Even today, it is considered one of the most nearly perfect compositions of its era. It was so popular during Josquin's life that an anonymous composer, probably Ludwig Daser , working after Josquin's death, circulated a version with two new added voices.Translation
