Ave Maris
As a placeholder, here is a webpage I prepared earlier
Puzzle sheets:
Magistra Stella has this collection of everything you need to learn Ave maris Stella over on her excellent webpage, Learn Church Latin.
I also assembled a little square PDF of the hymn. After a little while I made another square PDF with the simpler tune. The simpler tune is earmarked for Saturdays or the Little Office.

Recordings:
It turns out that it looks like I haven’t made many recordings of Ave Maris Stella, but there are many, many, many professional recordings out there.
- Floriani teaching how to sing Ave Maris Stella
- Floriani singing the famous tune alternating with polyphony by Giovanni Asola.
- Harpa Dei singing the famous tune - a group of siblings - they speak Spanish as they’re from Germany (I think) but grew up in South America, so their pronunciation isn’t Italian, but very beautiful. Vowels very nice, but their “ce, ci” is more like “tse, tsi” rather than the “che chi” that I use.
- rjc singing the Little Office/Saturday tune
- Me singing an alternate tune
Slideshows
Quizizz has some fancy slideshow capabilities, so for the third verse lesson I spent a while putting together a lovely slideshow, only to be crushed with disappointment when it would not save. After some frustration and reflection, I made these using hugo and reveal.js - it’s part of the wowchemy thing.
