Anton Bruckner (1824-1896) was deeply rooted in the religious traditions of the Roman Catholic Church. He set the Ave Maria to music three times during his lifetime. The third setting was composed for alto and piano (organ or harmonium) in 1882. This short contrasting composition is characterized by a dramatic progression with widely spun melodies, roving harmonies, a unisono section and general pauses. The resemblance to the Seventh Symphony is unmistakable. In this arrangement for horn ensemble, this Ave Maria setting sounds almost like a symphonic movement.
