A Melody So Powerful It Needed Two Composers
How did two composers who lived 130 years apart create the world's most famous melody? This is the incredible story of the Bach-Gounod "Ave Maria"—a masterpiece born from an accidental experiment. In 1722, Johann Sebastian Bach wrote a simple prelude. In 1852, Charles Gounod improvised a melody over it while visiting his future father-in-law. They never met, they never spoke, and yet their collaboration defines classical music history.
