The less flamboyant pieces from "Harmonies poétiques et
religleuses" (1853 version) are not so often played.
These two pieces (along with 'Hymne de l'enfant à son réveil') are
transcriptions of choral works from the 1840s.
I think they make a good pairing, and suit the medium, as they would surely
have been intended for domestic performance in an intimate setting.
Indeed, the 'Pater noster' ('Our Father, who art in heaven....) is in the
style of a Gregorian chant, and both pieces have the Latin texts printed
over the score (although, in the case of the Ave Maria, the fit is not
always obvious). Shorn of the virtuoso figurations associated with Liszt,
these pieces instead present the musical challenge of capturing the intended
devotional atmosphere.
