After ending his studies with Sechter, Bruckner wrote his Ave Maria in 1861. On October 3, 1861 he reported in a letter: "I was, in the end, splendidly aplauded by my choir—twice.“ In this very sound-oriented arrangement, Bruckner divides the seven-voice choir into groups with various combinations of voices and already achieves the harmonic effects of his later works.
