Thread Name: Chords Req: Ave Maria
Subject: RE: Chords Req: Ave Maria
Joe,

the <PRE> command defeats word wrap


and that's what it is meant to do. I see your point though.

The category of "Chords Req" may do with a set of rules anyway. Askers should be urged to name the exact instruments and voice ranges involved, to give details about their proficiency in theory and practice, and about their plans with the result (concert, wedding ceremony, parody at a party, ...). Not to forget: which song exactly they want.

Joe, on another thread you asked for other Aves. I polled my "classical" friends, which one they consider the post-Gregorian genuine Ave Maria. Anton Bruckner's won. There are excellent compositions from non-catholic denominations though, without the controversial "Ora pro nobis" part. (Controversial it used to be in the old days when prayers were generally taken literally.)
