About
Chris Artley's setting of Ave Maria features beautiful slow melodic lines supported by his trademark harmonies, including the occasional jazz chord or two! It's quite a demanding sing but well worth the effort! Very accessible a cappella choral setting of this traditional text. Has strong melodic lines and slushy harmonies.
