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.

I want my prayers, my songs to be heard. I grew up Catholic and I have been composing songs since I was 16. I compose in different languages. I sing my own songs and play most of the instruments. My goal is to share my gift with the Catholic world, the gift God gave me. As they say, singing is praying twice. I want also people to know how Catholicism is universal. The only difference is the language but everything is the same. I want to share my ways of praising the Lord's name, and...

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.
