The New Hail Mary Song by Erwin Cabucos Lyrics and Music
August 12, 2025 - 9:12pm — Erwin Cabucos
Carey Landry's Hail Mary Gentle Woman is good but I found its tempo difficult to play on guitar or organ. Even to sing, I can never get it right. Plus it is quite long.
I just want to sing the Hail Mary short and sweet.
So, here's the new one - just composed today. Hope you like it. The chords are posted below the video. Enjoy and please subscribe and share.

Hail Mary – less drawn out
I agree that Carey Landry's "Hail Mary, Gentle Woman" can get a bit long, especially if the musicians set a slow tempo. I have sung it numerous times.
Your version is good. I would try to work more on a couple line endings which need a bit more prosody (keeping words in sync with tempo).
For the very same aim of simplicity, Tony Moran (RIP) and I collaborated on a couple versions of Hail Mary, one in English and another in Spanish.

And here is another nice setting of the Hail Mary, also composed by Tony Moran. His daughter Tara sings this. Piano arrangement and sheet music engraving by my friend and collaborator, André van Haren.
