The Gounod Ave Maria for Cello and Piano (EMB) is one of the best-known works by French composer Charles Gounod (1818–1893). Gounod composed the melody over the harmonic framework of J. S. Bach’s Prelude No. 1 in C Major, BWV 846, from The Well-Tempered Clavier. In this cello and piano setting, the cello carries the familiar lyrical melody, allowing players to develop sustained tone, smooth phrasing, bow control, and expressive interpretation. Published by Editio Musica Budapest (EMB), this edition offers a graceful and accessible addition to the cello repertoire for lessons, recitals, ceremonies, and general performance.
