With his Ave Maria Martin Völlinger (from his Latin Jazz Mass) offers a very striking setting of this text. Including spatial acoustics, the rousing music of the main section evolves from a freely sung, antiphonal introduction. The elaborate choral setting is, due to its well-balanced range in all voices and the logical part-writing, easy to perform for dedicated amateur choirs as well as smaller church choirs. A great enhancement not only in church music practice but for concert performances as well!
