The New Hail Mary Song
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.

I am Catholic and a piano teacher. The Catholic Church has the most beautiful treasury of hymns.
I want my students to study hymns. Also, I want to memorize the words of some of the hymns that are in Latin and having access to the sheet music will help with that. Thank you.

I have been a minister of music for almost 40 years, and I am, primarily, an ear-trained pianist/composer. I am hoping that, becoming a member, I will be able to find sheet music (mostly, lead sheets, if available), that also contain the guitar chords, as I, typically, see them, and then, improvise, accordingly.

Need to replace copyrighted music on my YouTube Rosary channel (https://www.youtube.com/@mryan510) to stop the constant interruptions with ads. Perusing your site affords me with plenty of ad free solutions. I hope to donate to your site when I make my selections.

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.
