The Ave Maria by Bach/Gounod is a popular and much-recorded setting of the Latin text Ave Maria, originally published in 1853 as Méditation sur le Premier Prélude de Piano de S. Bach. The piece consists of a melody by the French Romantic composer Charles Gounod that he superimposed over an only very slightly changed version of the Prelude No. 1 in C major, BWV 846, from Book I of J.S. Bach's The Well-Tempered Clavier, written 137 years earlier.

Bach's The Well-Tempered Clavier, written some 137 years earlier. Although published in instrumental versions and fitted to various texts during Gounod's lifetime, the claim that he never 'wrote' it appears to be literally true. Alongside Schubert's Ave Maria, the Bach/Gounod Ave Maria has become a fixture at wedding masses, funerals and quinceañeras. There are many different instrumental arrangements including for violin and guitar, string quartet, piano solo, cello, and even trombones. Performers, such as Luciano Pavarotti, Maria Callas, Anna Moffo, José Carreras, Andre Rieu, Bobby McFerrin, Celtic Woman as well as choirs have recorded it hundreds of times during the twentieth century. Jackie Evancho sang it on AGT Finals. It's also in Hayley Westenra's album, River of Dreams. Thank you to my teacher, Mr. Didier!
