Ave Regina coelorum in E♭

Composer：Ko Matsushita
Words from Composer:

　In this piece, I attempted to write a plain and beautiful melody that could be easily performed by the elderly and choral beginners.

　The melody sung to the piano introduction, which is like a gush of water (which is a symbol of emotion) filled with abundant divine grace, is an arabesque sonification. Dynamic vertical intervals are placed within the slow movement.

　The piece proceeds in a solemn and supple manner, accompanied by changes of color through modulations and changes of beat. The love of the Virgin Mary should be expressed calmly and tenderly.
