A-ve Ma-ri-a!
gra-ti-a ple-na, Do-mi-nus te-cum,
be-ne-di-cta tu, be-ne-di-cta tu in mu-li-e-ri-bus,
in mu-li-e-ri-bus,
et be-ne-di-ctus fru-ctus ven-tris tu-i, Je-sus.
Sanc-ta Ma-ri-a, Ma-ter De-i,
o-ra pro no-bis,
o-ra pro no-bis pec-ca-to-ri-bus,
nunc, et in ho-ra,
nunc et in ho-ra mor-tis no-strae,
A-men. A-men.

1904 edition - Mc Laughlin & Reilley Cy, Boston

1919 choral transcription.
Different key + the 2nd voice line has been transposed upwards,
probably to accommodate the choir composition at that time.
My thanks and appreciation to Margaret Watts -

Coro Santa Lucia di Magras -Malè (Trento) Ave Maria (F. X. Witt)
Attribution problem:
I have found references to
Franz Xavier Witt (1834-1888); C. Friedrich Witt (1770-1836) and Rev. Fr.
Witt. (no life data,
page)
musicaustralia.org and the YouTube video both list the
author of this setting as Franz Xavier Witt.
However, both the printed and the manuscript score state only "Fr. Witt"
without any life data.
Do you see a public domain score you
like, but you cannot download it?
