Work introduction
Maris stella for female choir or children's choir.
This is a youth work on the words of the well-known Catholic prayer "Ave Maris Stella", in which the Virgin Mary is invoked as the "Star of the Sea". A safe guide for the people.
The title of the composition, without the Ave that opens the prayer, also has a particular meaning for me. In it, given the tenderness the text uses to addresses the Mother of God as Mother of all us, I decided to mention my mother's name: Maristella.
