Скачать или смотреть Ave Maria - Oradour

An informal recording with friends of the composition 'Ave Maria', Oradour, as featured at the BIRMINGHAM REP for the stageplay 'All My Pretty Ones', by Patrick Hayes.

Featuring Alice Orlik (soprano), Roksana Grobelna (violin), Aida Khakizadeh (violin), Raghad Haddad (viola), Allison Bann (cello). Piano & Composition by Jobe Sullivan.

The Ave Maria was never heard in its entirety during the play - due to a dramatic plot device, the audience would never hear 'Amen'.

This moving piece was inspired by a trip by the composer and the team from AMPO to Oradour Sur Glane, where the village remains untouched post massacre, save a few signs and a visitors centre adjacent to it.

Thank you to Wylde Green URC for allowing us to rent the space to render this beautiful piece.

Sound recorded by Jane Gale, filmed and edited by Vafa Motamedi, with additional stage direction from Alice Orlik.

Additional violin material composed by Roksana Grobelna.
