Countess Margit Sztáray de Nagymihály (born 1859) was a Polish composer,[1] who is best known today for her choral arrangement of Ave Maria.[2]

Sztaray was the daughter of Count Ferdinand Sztáray de Sztára et Nagymihály and Gabriella Vécsey de Hernádvécse et Hajnácskeő.[3] She spent some time at the Vienna Conservatory around 1900, possibly as a teacher.[4] She wrote songs, as well as sacred music with organ accompaniment,[5] which were published by Feuchtinger & Gleichauf of Regensburg, Germany. Her publications include:

  • Ave Maria (four women’s voices and organ)[6] [7]
  • Katholische Kirchen-Gesänge (Catholic Church Chants)[8]
