Ave Maria
Poet/Lyricist:
Traditional Marian prayer
"I grew up praying the Rosary aloud with my family every evening during particular liturgical seasons as well as during the Marian months of May and October. My parents' strong devotion to Mary inspired this setting of the Ave Maria (Hail Mary) which I composed as a gift honoring my parents' 50th wedding anniversary." —Joan Szymko

Reviews:
"Ave Maria" by American composer Joan Szymko was a well-sung mix of chant, harmony and chiseled counterpoint that exploited this choir's superb ability for dynamic pivots and perfectly controlled timbral shifts."<br> Bloomington Courier-Journal (reviewing Voces Novae)
