Bach'. The words were by Lamartine – 'Vers sur un album' from his Recueillments poétiques of 1839. Exactly when these words were supplanted by those of the 'Ave Maria' is not clear, but it seems to have happened within the first few years of the song's life. After a century and a half the piece isstill sung, played and loved the world over, and this is surely its own guarantee of musical value, as it is of its composer's more general gift as a songwriter. in the view of Maurice Ravel, that-sharp critic of everything shoddy or meretricious, 'the true founder of the mélodie in France was Charles Gounod.'
