Product Description

In 1722 J.S. Bach published his Prelude in C major to begin a collection of works now commonly known as the Well-Tempered Clavier Book I. Over a century later, the French Romantic composer Charles Gounod composed a melody to go with Bach's prelude, and in 1859 Jacques Léopold Heugel published a version of this melody to be sung with the familiar Latin text for "Ave Maria". Matthew C. Weiss continues this tradition by adding another independent line that beautifully intertwines around Gounod's timeless melody, creating a wonderful duet for two solo instruments and piano.
