Ave Maria 聖母頌

聖母頌》是勞裡森根據著名拉丁文本創作的一系列無伴奏聖歌中的一首，由保羅-薩拉穆諾維奇指揮的洛杉磯大師合唱團進行了全球首演。作曲家寫道："這首寧靜的作品是專門為薩拉穆諾維奇大師創作的，作為他 70 歲的生日禮物。這兩句詩的情緒變化反映在一對強烈而令人回味的主題中，反映在多聲部的質地中，豐富了八聲部或更多聲部的分割，並加入了作曲家標誌性的 "溫柔 "不協和音

原文簡介:
Ave Maria, one of Lauridsen's growing series of a cappella motets on well-known Latin texts, received its world premiere performance by the Los Angeles Master Chorale, conducted by Paul Salamunovich. The composer wrote, “This serene setting was specially composed as a 70th birthday gift to Maestro Salamunovich, who continues to enrich us all through his magnificent and enduring contributions to the art of choral music.” The changing moods of the text's two verses are reflected in a pair of strong and evocative themes, and in polyphonic textures enriched with divisis to eight or more parts, and peppered with the composer's trademark “gentle” dissonances.-- Peter Rutenburg, RCM Records
