Chantons en Église - Je vous salue, Marie

Description

A selection of 22 sung versions of the "Hail Mary." It is a simple prayer that, like the "Our Father," all Catholics know. It is the prayer they use when addressing the Virgin Mary. A prayer often recited, such as when saying the rosary, but also a prayer frequently sung during celebrations and pilgrimages. This new volume of the Chantons en Église collection invites you to discover the great richness of the music used to carry the prayer of the "Hail Mary." From the Gregorian melody (Ave Maria) to versions for monastic choirs or choirs... Some are meant to be sung a cappella, some to be accompanied by the organ, and others rhythmically accompanied by the guitar... A diversity that reflects the variety of people, places, and moments where this prayer can be expressed in the life of communities. Songs that, as Pope Francis says, allow us to address the Virgin Mary "as a refuge, as one who always points to the Lord and invites us to place our blind trust in Him."
