Fauré – Ave Maria, Op.67 No.2

Composing almost in all music genres of his time, Gabriel Fauré is known to have written quite a big amount of chamber, piano, orchestral, vocal and choral music. Talking about the latter, it is especially demanded among listeners, as Fauré, a long time choirmaster, had certainly obtained better understanding of how to compose for voice during all the time spent in various Catholic churches. Curiously, he didn’t linger long at any of them, having even faced distrust for his religious views at the Church of Saint-Sauveur. Still Fauré’s impermanence doesn’t mean shortage of choice as concerns his sacred oeuvre. Here is Ave Maria (A Flat Major), Op.67 No.2. Enjoy!
