846 J. S. Bach, Ch. Gounod Ave Maria, Prelude and Fugue in C major, BWV 846 WTK 1 N. 1 Jonathan + Tom Scott

Bach s original is 35 bars. The earliest setting was in C major, for 6part chorus, organ, piano and orchestra (Méditation, CG 89), or perhaps the same for voice and piano (CG 89c), with a French text by Lamartine. Gounod expended the work into its present form along with the Latin text setting the same year.
