This setting of Ave Maria by Andreas Gassner encourages us to stop for a moment and listen. Our attention is drawn to the moment through his floating harmonies and surprising progressions. The six-part chorus begins subtly, quietly and intently. The music intensifies in wave-like dynamics until the climax is reached in the middle part. After this pleading call for help in the hour of death where time loses all meaning, the last bars return to a reverent silence. A choral composition that leaves a deep impression.
