General Information

Title: Ave Maria
Composer: Josquin des Prez

Number of voices: 4vv   Voicing: SATB

Genre: SacredMotet

Language: Latin
Instruments: a cappella
Published: Codex Speciálník

Description: This 4-part Ave Maria of Josquin des Prez was extremely popular in the sixteenth century, through its then “new” more “open” style (fewer melismas, parts set with just two voices). Even today, it is considered one of the most nearly perfect compositions of its era. It was so popular during Josquin's life that an anonymous composer, probably Ludwig Daser, working after Josquin's death, circulated a version with two new added voices (Ave Maria a 4 plus 2). Ludwig Senfl also wrote a 6-part Ave Maria parody based on this piece.
