Ave Maria (Bach/Gounod)
Single
Ave Maria
Composed in 1859, Gounod’s Ave Maria blends sacred and romantic elements, using Bach’s Prelude in C Major as its foundation, with a lyrical vocal line that conveys devotion and grace. Its timeless beauty has made it a beloved staple of the classical vocal repertoire.
Christel Veraart reinterprets this iconic work through a modern lens, blending traditional harmonies with contemporary rhythms and innovative orchestrations. This fusion breathes new life into the classic, offering a fresh, dynamic experience that merges the sacred with the contemporary.
“Nothing else could be heard but Christel’s singing. It was amazing to hear the fineness of her voice and to see there, sitting in their pews, on the floor, on the stones, enchanted, astonished, the rancheros of the region, but also impresarios, some tourists, scientists, geologists, historians, housewives and people that love this region profoundly. It had been more than two hundred years that in this mission and all the others, God had been praised in this way. “
– Carlos Lazcano (El Vigia)
