Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate Franz Liszt’s Marian settings of six selected piano works, in order to explore and to offer insights into Liszt’s religious perception through an overview and a comparison of the selected works. They include Sposalizio from Deuxième Année de Pèlerinage: Italie; Ave Maria from Harmonies Poétiques et Religieuses; Ave Maria – Die Glocken von Rom; Ave Maris Stella; Ave Maria S504/2 and Ave Maria S545. The thorough analysis will involve examining and comparing the extra-musical sources, religious symbols and motives, and other compositional devices. It is concluded that they share similarities and deserve to be grouped as a set. Through analyzing and comparing the pieces, and exploring their characteristics, this project sheds light on some of Liszt’s lesser-known works, and shows their continuing relevance in the twenty-first century.
