Beautiful, as always. This is quite similar to an "Ave Maria" by Franck that I often use (found in the St. Gregory Hymnal) ... especially the first time through and the echo on the second half ... but sufficiently different to ask what edition this is performed from. I imagine yours is likely Franck's original, and the one in Montani's hymnal is likely a simplified version for parish choirs ... unison or two-part mixed or equal voices ... or even congregational singing. The voice of your soprano soloist is angelic. By the way, Harold visited me last week. I gave him four boxes of Latin Mass resources beyond what I had already sent him. We both love your posts.
