I am walking for the eight-part Ave Maria, to the Vasa Chapel in Wawel Cathedral in Krakow. The chapel features a beautiful 17thC altar painting of the assumption, probably by Tommasso Dolabella.
This 8-part setting of Ave Maria has subtly shifting tonalities, like sliding doors between different harmonies. The simple chanted lines allow the words to shine effortlessly, while the melodic lines weave through the texture.
