Description:
Mack Wilberg's calming and pensive Meditation is an adaptation of Charles Gounod's famous Ave Maria which is itself based on J.S. Bach's Prelude in C Major from the first book of The Well-Tempered Clavier. The accompaniment is derived from the piano solo transcription of Gounod's work by Georges Bizet. To the piano's rising arpeggios and Gounod's melody, Wilberg has added a gently weaving choral texture, setting the words 'Alleluia, Amen'.
