Nathaniel Dett graduated from Oberlin College in 1908, going on to study with Arthur Foote at Harvard, with Nadia Boulanger in Paris, and at every major center of musical learning in the United States. He earned his Master of Music from the Eastman School of Music at the age of 49—\u003cem\u003eafter\u003c\/em\u003e having been awarded two honorary doctorates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDett wrote extensively for voice, keyboard and orchestra, and dedicated the bulk of his career to the expression of Black music in a variety of classical idioms. With Harry Burleigh, Dett was one of the first composers to set down spirituals in choral arrangements, many based on his transcriptions from the famous Hampton Institute sessions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis original setting of \u003cem\u003eAve Maria\u003c\/em\u003e is written in the sumptuous close-harmony language that dominated American choral writing through the 1930s, but with a modal flavor that lends it a poignant devotional character. The material is well within the grasp of most choirs, but note that the vocal range is quite extensive (soprano up to B♭5, tenor from D♭3 to A♭4; the bass ranges down to D♭2 but has +8va alternate notes below F2).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eText\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAve Maria, gratia plena,\u003cbr\u003eDominus tecum.\u003cbr\u003eBenedicta tu in mulieribus,\u003cbr\u003eet benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus.\u003cbr\u003eSancta Maria, Mater Dei,\u003cbr\u003eora pro nobis peccatoribus,\u003cbr\u003enunc et in hora mortis nostrae.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHail Mary, filled with grace,\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Lord is with you.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou are blessed among women,\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eAnd blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eHoly Mary, Mother of God\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePray for us sinners,\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eNow and at the hour of our death.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"152\" width=\"122\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/1095\/2162\/files\/Dett1.jpg?v=1722019996\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Catchword Octavo Editions","offers":[{"title":"[Pack of 5 @ $2.20 each] — Print octavo + digital download","offer_id":45730824519906,"sku":null,"price":9.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"[Pack of 5 licenses @ $1.15 each] — Digital download only","offer_id":45730824552674,"sku":null,"price":4.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"FREE — Watermarked review copy","offer_id":46969845678306,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/1095\/2162\/files\/Ave_Maria.png?v=1761603750"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.catchwordmusic.com\/collections\/r-nathaniel-dett.oembed","provider":"Catchword Music Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
