montunoman Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Greetings, I will be playing at a wedding with a violinist, and the couple has requested that we play "Ave Maria" . It would make my life much easier to work from a lead sheet with chords and melody, in the key of G if possible. Any help with be much appreciated. Thank you !

Reezekeys Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Check your PMs... Sorry not in G! [EDIT - Ha ha I guess I didn't read the full text of this thread title - or did you edit it? PS - why not have the violinist read from your chart instead of you doing the work to transpose? Or, can/will you use the.... BUTTON? I won't tell!

davinwv Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I have a lead sheet, but it is in Ab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montunoman Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 Thank you Reezkeys, the chord changes and melody seem good so I'll just transpose and make my own chord chart. . For better or worse I won't be able to use the BUTTON, because the wedding is taking place at the grandparents house and they would love to hear their baby grand in action, even by a hack like me who has to fake a part from a lead sheet! Thanks for saving my backside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgoo Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I have a chord chart that I made for myself, but no melody written. I can put it in G and send that if it would be helpful.

Floyd Tatum Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I don't know about you guys, but when I get a solo piano Christmas gig, I enjoy playing Ave Maria (in Ab) as though it were a GASB standard, and improvising on it like a jazz tune. Challenging, but fun. I always wonder how this song goes down with people - nowadays it's often sung with the lyrics of the Roman Catholic prayer to the Virgin Mary. (not the original lyrics btw, which I believe were more secular). Thus, I wonder how non-Roman Catholics feel about it. I'm 99% sure no one cares. But still I wonder. I think it's a great melody.
