Gounod had no qualms about arranging well-known works by earlier masters after his own fashion. Thus in 1852 he added a melody with its own operatic climax to the famous arpeggios of the C-major Prelude BWV 846 from Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier. He first published instrumental versions of it under the title âMéditationâ, then tried fitting various texts to the melody until in 1859 he arrived at the definitive vocal version using the text of the Ave Maria. Already by the 1890s it was claimed that â[we] have heard this sweet melody innumerable times from the best lady singersâ, and its popularity has continued to the present day. Reason enough, then, for Henle Verlag to publish an Urtext edition of this worldwide hit, based on the sources and with appropriate critical commentary. In 1859, at the same time as the original edition for high voice, editions for middle and low voice, presumably commissioned by the publishers, were also issued. Following this model, the Henle Urtext edition of âAve Mariaâ is also offered in two transpositions for the lower register.

Matsushita's Ave Maria is a very intimate short unaccompanied piece of true inward devotion. An experienced composer, Matsushita has chosen a tonal musical language for this homophonic piece. His enchanting modulations, well-placed and precisely-judged, are particularly effective without overloading the simple character of the work. All the parts are written in comfortable registers throughout and without divisi, so that the piece can easily be performed by all choirs. In short: a jewel! Score available separately - see item CA.967800.

The Mass in B flat, op. 172, dates from 1892 and was published in two authentic versions. The instrumental accompaniment can be played either by an ensemble of wind instruments or by organ. Between Gloria and Credo Rheinberger placed a powerfully expressive a cappella Ave Maria, probably due to the fact that the Mass was first performed on a major feast day of the Virgin Mary: on the feast of Purification (Candlemas) in Breslau Cathedral. Score and part available separately - see item CA.5017200.
