The Daughters of Mary sing the wonderful hymn Ave maris stella to tune unknown to me (alternating with the Gregorian melody). Do you know the origin of this tune?
I just wrote to the sisters and they told me it's by Carlo Rossini. Hymn #99 from his book "Exaltate Deum." The original is SATB, if you'll believe it.
