Program notes By Thomas May

Largely written with eight-part textures, Ave Maria is a motet calling for a large chorus with many divisi sections and with a special focus on A CHORAL “the rich sonorities of the divided men’s sections,” says the composer. “The melodic material has as its roots chant-like lines in Gregorian RENAISSANCE: style which, of course, was one of Paul’s areas of expertise. He built this pyramid of sound with the men at the base of it.”

Ave Maria is of longer duration than the composer’s other self-standing L.A.

The Whole Sea In Motion by Dale Trumbore No language can describe the effect of the deep, clear azure of the sky and ocean, the bright morning sunshine on the semicircular barrier of craggy cliffs surmounted by green swelling hills, and on the smooth, wide sands, and the low rocks out at sea­—looking, with their clothing of weeds and moss, like little grass-grown islands­—and above all, on the brilliant, sparkling waves. And then, the unspeakable purity­—and freshness of the air! …just enough wind to keep the whole sea in motion, to make the waves come bounding to the shore, foaming and sparkling, as if wild with glee. Nothing else was stirring—no­ living creature was visible besides myself. My footsteps were the first to press the firm, unbroken sands;—nothing­ before had trampled them since last night’s flowing tide had obliterated the deepest marks of yesterday, and left them fair and even, except where the subsiding water had left behind it the traces of dimpled pools and little running streams. — From the novel Agnes Grey by Anne Brontë (1820-1849)

Ave Maria Another Lullaby For Insomniacs by Morten Lauridsen by Matthew Brown

Ave Maria, gratia plena: Hail Mary, full of grace, Sleep, she will not linger: She lays the darkness bare. Dominus tecum, The Lord is with thee, She turns her moon-cold shoulder. You slowly realize benedicta tu in mulieribus, Blessed art thou among women, With no ring on her finger, Her heart is otherwhere. et benedictus fructus ventris tui, And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, You cannot hope to hold her.
