BRUCH – Ave Maria, Op.61 – CELLO AND PIANO

Other Identification:
The Ave Maria, a concert piece for violoncello with the accompaniment of orchestra or piano, is based on the sixth movement (a prayer scene) of Bruch’s cantata Das Feuerkreuz (The Fiery Cross), Opus 52. The cantata, whose movements outline a narrative from Sir Walter Scott’s Lady of the Lake, had a long gestation period, but was finally finished in 1888-89. Bruch was particularly fond of the Prayer Scene: he not only published it separately for voice and orchestra, but also reworked it (transposing it from D minor to A minor) in 1892 for violoncello and orchestra, at the insistence of his friend, the cellist Robert Hausmann (1852-1909), who wanted to have a companion piece to the successful Kol Nidrei.
