- Ave Maris Stella
[7:6]
Four versets: the first is registered loudly for SW coupled at 4' to GT with Cantus in PD; the second is bright but softer in four voices, again SW
coupled at 4' to GT; the third is a trio between Swell Cornet, GT Principal 8' + Flute 4' and CH Basson 16' coupled to PD; the fourth is in two parts,
the first in 4/2 Meter and fugue-like, with the fourth voice settling into an Organ Point (held note) which merges into the Common Meter section which
swirls around in almost medieval fashion. Bradley Lehman Temperament. Impulse reverberation added. Mutopia Project score is available here.
Instrument:
Schantz at First Baptist Church of Riverside, California (1966) sampled by Jonathan Orwig

Latin:
Ave maris stella,
Dei mater alma,
Atque semper virgo,
Felix coeli porta.

Hail, O Star of ocean,
God's own Mother blest,
Ever sinless Virgin,
Gate of heav'nly rest.
