Ave Maria Sheet Music (Piano)

This Ave Maria is a popular and much-recorded version of the Latin prayer 'Ave Maria,' often attributed to Giulio Caccini - a renowned Italian composer of the late Renaissance and early Baroque era. However, historically it's unclear if he did indeed compose this song. It's likely that it was instead composed by Russian composer and guitarist Vladimir Vavilov in the 20th century, but was later misattributed to Caccini.

The song has a simple, elegant melody line. Sung with devotion, the piece is commonly being performed during Catholic mass.

From a musical theory perspective:

• Ave Maria is often performed in the key of C Major.
• The piece has an Andante tempo, which means 'walking pace,' giving it a tranquil yet moving feel.
