Marian piece for wedding: SATB with soprano solo, preferably accompanied

Heath

These were the parameters requested by a couple . . . nothing came immediately to mind. Any suggestions? 2-4 minutes tops.

Kathy

Dude. Franck's Ave Maria.

Heath

Thanks, Kathy . . . but I found 3 different versions and none of them were scored for SATB and solo. Can you pass along the score you have in mind, please?

If the wedding isn't in the next few weeks, ask the couple if they'd consider commissioning a piece of music for the occasion. Then make it free on the internet with their names under the title. It will be a lasting tribute to their dedication to the arts and their names will live on forever like Odysseus.

(double post. Anyone else having issues with this?)

S solo + STB is close but not quite what was requested; I almost wonder if Kathy meant Panis angelicus. CPDL has a multi-category search function: solo Sop + SATB turns up Dubois and much else besides.

Marc Cerisier

I'd recommend the Vierne Ave Maria.

Assuming they won't really worry about a missing voice.

Kathy

I think this is sublime.

Here's the Dubois in a minor:

I have a friend's arrangement of the Schubert "Ave Maria" for S solo plus SATB chorus + organ. I also have an MP3 from last Nov. when I used this same arrangement at a funeral. PM me if interested.

Mozart's "Laudate Dominum," (from his Vesperae solennes de confessore, K.339) comes to mind.

"Ave Maria" by Franz Abt.
