Poulenc: Ave Maria from Dialogues of the Carmelites (SSA octavo)

The Ave Maria from Poulenc’s opera Dialogues of the Carmelites (SSA octavo) offers choral ensembles a sacred and emotionally charged excerpt from Francis Poulenc’s larger dramatic work. This edition captures the composer’s elegant tonal language and his repertory’s dual theatrical and devotional roots. Critics have described the opera version as “a serious, big, theatrically effective work … the most distinctive element of the score … there is a wonderfully natural vocal writing.”
