Jacob Arcadelt, as adapted by Louis Dietsch or Arcadelt / Dietsch (in analog with Bach / Gounod) Various editors have changed bar lines, note lengths, and word underlay to reflect what they considered correct Latin word stress. The bass part in particular is entirely Dietsch's work. What is commonly called 'Arcadelt's Ave Maria' is a 19th century adaptation by Pierre Louis Philippe Dietsch (1808 - 1865) of Arcadelt's 'Nous voyons que les hommes.' Jacob Arcadelt did NOT write an Ave Maria.
