[wattever333]

but of course if we can't see what we posted, it's hard to tell if we made a mistake in pasting the different parts.

[Steinadler110]

Gänsehaut-Pur

[suz208]

I'm not a Catholic but music transcends all faiths. Stunning. Goosebumps. Thanks for uploading.

[dzcunha]

este video é uma das mais importantes canções que te eleva até os mais puros pensamentos e sentimentos de leveza infinita.

[TheLaarni02]

The most beautiful Ave Maria rendition I have ever heard!! Miss Durbin's voice is so smooth, so soothing, so angelic, I want to cry.

[6Zofia47]

Piękna pieśń Ave Maria Szuberta kiedy śpiewa ją Deanne Durbin to przenika człowieka stąd świetny odbiór publiczności jej śpiewu.Ubrana subtelnie ale głos się liczy , talent i piękny śpiew.

Nie ma większej nagrody solisty jak łzy publiczności .Ona śpiewa jakby kwilił ptak swój hymn do Matki Bożej.Cudowny film, który nauczył mnie , że płacz przy śpiewie to jest ta perła, którą nie każdy potrafi ją dać.I AMEN !

[lancetop]

Another atheist here, that loves this song. This musical masterpiece far transcends religion.

[2ni2808]

I am at a loss for words ,,,,,I only can say : WONDERFUL !!!!

[frankbateau1]

This is an inspired rendition, proving itself absolutely timeless and spanning cultures, religions, philosophies, ages, races...... 2012 and it still moves us. Supernatural.

[TheLaarni02]

I have goosebumps listening to her. What a fantastic sweet operatic voice, so smooth. The best Ave Maria rendition I've heard. Just beautiful!

[ioanatoma1957]

nimeni nu cinta ca ea

[coochiemama47]

I would luv 2 know the english version

[butterflyscrappers]

love her singing so soft and gentle

[oracle2world]

The audiences sure dressed a lot better in those days.

[swirlyhat888]

SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL ! ! !

[Micelli1947]

Reminds me of my Catholic School Education from 1953-1961. . . .those were the days!! God Bless for posting such a beautiful song!!!

[coochiemama47]

@Micelli1947 Those r the same yrs I went 2 Blessed Sacrament !

[18aaronjames]

dont matter how spectuacular the performance an voice is there are people who wont like it and it people like that who crucified jesus

[Avatar610]

Deanna at her best! Both she and Kay Francis deserve better respect by film historians and home video.

[scotnick59]

So nice to hear our still with us Deanna sing this ethereal melody at Christmastime

[bibiJ63]

Thank you soooo much for uploading this here!ILove all kinds of music from A to Z..Classic too..But THIS will ALWAYS be special to me... because when I was VERY young girl my mama(she was an opera/operette singer herself)Told me Deanna Durbin was one of her fave singers.She(my mama) passed away 3 years ago in a bad way.But Still,I'm so proud,WE,my whole family can sing...perhaps because of her...but HER fave stars too...My mom LOVED Deanna.!!Thank you,Merci bien,Danke,Graçias,Dank je wel!!

[JasperElvenSky]

This is a song to the Mother Goddess. The überpartriachal Jews -- Saul of Tarsus -- didn't formulate it this way. But later, perhaps by Roman influence, the Mother Goddess was snuck back in, with the introduction of the Mary figures -- three versions, the Virgin, the Sinner and the Mother -- into the fable.

[ribeirofarias]

Atheists long for a relaxing song. We, christians, look for life! Eternal life!

[jewelmarkess]

Deanna Durbin sings it beautifully. Even though I prefer when this song is sung in the original German, I love Deanna's voice. Love this movie too.

[milokody]

This is the version I remember listening to with my Mum and Dad :)

[MojarrangoRosa]

Schubert was touched not by the muse but by an angel.

[SuperWatanabe123]

At 38", the guy on the right looks like Schubert ! lol !

[Thorneycroft1937]

Happy birthday.

[SuperWatanabe123]

I love it !

[undeadarmyofone]

Magnificent!

Thank You!!!



[BigDon62]

The lovely Ms. Durbin was not the only bird in this clip, I see a Walter Pidgeon as well ! Without the 'd' of course. ☺

[cesime]

If all the Nuns look like her I want to be a bishop.Beautiful voice and song.

[LVorm]

Ik houw erg veel van klassieke muziek 

[SirLesful]

Only someone touched by God could write such a beautiful song.

[jodyannspencer]

SO Beautiful!!! Does anyone happen to know what movie this song was sung in?

[BestAmateurViolinist]

Only Hollywood could RUIN the ending. It ends in peace, not in fanfare.

[JodyVex]

exquisite

[SarunaAlbahr]

Beautiful!

[CanadaPisces]

A lovely rendition of Ave Maria!

[sidious1977]

why does this song always make me cry?....I'm a 34 year old man for crying out loud!.....there's only a few songs that affect me like this, another is Beethoven's "moonlight sonata" played by Wilhelm Kempff, you know the kind of song that makes you get tingles under your skin.

[5h221stzo]

@sidious1977 the song touches the true meaning of the soul and the grace of our lady to whome god as given the love of our lord jesus to heal our pain and take away our sins

[bugsbunny021]

I'm 54 years old and I can't help crying when I hear this too.

[monarch50YT]

Very comforting hymn/music indeed -- for Catholics, Protestants, atheists, agnostics.

The movie is called It's A Date -- apparently Amazon has VHS on sale, still...

[mariafistful]

Can anyone tell me what movie this is from, Please!!!

[BadfingerFan]

@mariafistful According to Wikipedia, Deanna Durbin sang Ava Maria in "It's a Date," and in "Mad About Music." Exactly which film this particular clip is from, I don't know.

[mstrsims2]

@mariafistful IT'S A DATE



[cesime]

Ever so beautiful, what a voice.

[Farpo123]

All I know is that this was my mothers favorite rendition of this song and is why I love it also....Thank You Deanna.....

[belenjopunk]

She's not a real nun; it's just for the movie. Schubert's Ave Maria is perhaps the most beautiful.

[ccdg1066]

Angelic - my favorite version bar none. What makes it even more impressive is the setting (on a movie set).

[Prancer1231]

wears a lot of makeup for a nun

[RosealieWalker]

i was named after deanna. i am now 62 and have just watched her for the first time. no wonder my mother loved her so much. fantastic

[AFcunningham]

both schuberts and bach's ave maria are gems of music.

[TheITALIANChannel1]

She sings this like an angel :-)

[JusufJan]

the 29 dislike came in with broken loudspeakers

[Tuy19299]

The movie this if from is called "It's a Date" from 1940. I guess it was a 'B' movie, maybe even a comedy according to comments well below? No matter, the song and its beauty can withstand the flack all around it.

[padilllac]

I love this song, a beautiful tribute to the Mother of God. Thank for posting it here.

[ilyffaad]

I am Jewish and think this is the most spiritual music I have ever heard.

[stebenit]

played this song 7 years to the day at my mothers funereal R.I.P.

[gto66solstice08]

If you do not cry, you are not a true Judeo-Christian man

[MariesWaterColour]

Religions?! God?! The only real is Music♥ Schubert♥

[BalletBabyBoy]

Lovely...one of the most inspired and beautiful songs ever written. Schubert was touched by the muse.

[lovellespice]

@BalletBabyBoy you mean THE Muse?

[MsP4ndu]

so classic

[Micelli1947]

You must have the FAITH in Jesus the Savior of MANKIND. Open your HEART and the Lord Jesus will fill you with SALVATION and PEACE!! TRY it once and see where TRUE HAPPINESS EXISTS!!

[TheMightyPatapon]

To be honest, I'm an atheist and I still love this song. One need not be of any particular religion to enjoy a relaxing song.

[MrScreamQween]

@TheMightyPatapon I agree, I am a Pagan.

[planetyum1]

@TheMightyPatapon i AGREE WITH YOU. I think atheism exists primarliy because dogma is just too forceful... I think music - and this song in particular.. allows something within to move, something intangible and if that i sthe soul, or whatever you call it, then it must be connected to something lovingly greater, greater not in authority, but in loving esssence and equality.

[SuperDonna888]

@TheMightyPatapon Claiming to be ''Honest'' and an ''Atheist'' at the same time, just don't seem to sit comfortably together. Usually I've found, that people who claim to be an atheist, do so, as an excuse to continue their sinful lives against others, themselves, or nature and thus try avoiding any sense of reponsibility and morality. I'm not saying you are such a person, though a phrase does spring to mind, i.e ''As you sow, so shall you reap''.... I agree, that it's a lovely song though :)

[wowwhatwasthatfor]

@TheMightyPatapon ever wonder why it is you are drawn to this song.... your Mother is calling you.

[ahgera]

@TheMightyPatapon no one said you have to be a religious to enjoy any kind of songs even religion ones.

[freshair3451]

@TheMightyPatapon It's about Love

[nealthedude]

@TheMightyPatapon Me too. It actually made me cry because of the beauty of the song.

[lichtbroeder]

@TheMightyPatapon I agree somewhat with your comment, but would suggest that religious music, art, and architecture, inspired BY faith, are testimonies TO faith, often embodying it. One can enjoy this hymn as a "relaxing song", but it is more than that. It's a prayer, and as such, transcends any enjoyable aspects, giving it an entirely different dimension. A theatrical or museum setting for religious music and art can be enjoyable, but the experience is often out of context.

[waspswatter]

@TheMightyPatapon True, but if this song merely relaxes you, then you are missing much.

[ChEyAnNeLoZaNo]

Beautiful...simply beautiful.

[TheDaiwafishing]

io ho 34 anni la tv mi disgusta a vedere che porcherie e che scemenze fanno oggi...ma voi di un tempo avevate dei film che erano vere e proprie OPERE D'ARTE!!

[tonganfoilole69]

To all non catholic, this song is a very beautiful song; it's also tells us how beautiful this woman is. She is the mother of jesus, have u ever ask yrself this question; why her? why she only follow roman catholics? that's a good question, also their is a really good reason 4 it. God chose her before even she was born, she follow catholics, cause she only want to follow her son's only 1 true church, pple are too blind to see that.

[Axotrotl]

@tonganfoilole69 not catholics but ALL CHRISTIANS!!!! Saint Mary follows all christians,and me,and i am orthodox!!!!...this is beautful version of ave maria....yes God chose her,and she born Jesus and is Protector of all christians,not only catholics,you think wrong man...

[qvoprimum]

@angelpacheco59 Come back to Tradition. There is the latin Mass, with Gregorian Chant and the true Catholic doctrine. You try a Fraternity of Saint Peter or a SSPX parish , if you cannot find the Traditional Mass elsewhere.

I cannot stand the new mass anymore.

[tiranchula]

Gosh, it just makes me want to cry.. It is so beautiful a version! I never what the words were saying... It's Holy Mary... wow.... Thanks for such a wonderful vid, VT.... You have educated this wayward Catholic, who is sure she wants to go to Mass this coming weekend, and Thank the Lord for all the blessing he has given me...

[blackiemittens]

I'm not a Catholic, but since seeing "Fantasia" as a child, this has always been one of my favorite pieces of music. Talent is a gift from God. You respond to the 'spark' of God in the composer, musician, singer, whatever the artist is. It speaks to the God

'spark' in you.

[Singer221fan]

One of my favorite songs. Even if you do not agree with the sentiments, at least agree with the breathtaking beauty...

[R0FLLWAFFL3]

24 people's tears accidentally hit the dislike button.

[R0FLLWAFFL3]

24 people thought the dislike button said "Download"

[pancholom]

A beautiful singer with a beautiful voice singing one of the most beautiful vocal pieces ever composed

[alteExzellenz]

thats not Schubert thats Bach-Gounod

[hamefurgid]

@alteExzellenz Sorry, this is indeed the Schubert version. I have sung both this and the Bach Gounod version. Both equally beautiful :)

[appleXjuice]

I'm atheist, but I can appreciate the beauty of this.

[55mommacat]

Lookinland, you are trash!! Not Hollywood. Hollywood did a good thing back then. Perhaps you like the new Hollywood with sex and violence. These were the golden years when life and religion meant something. Not today when Hollywood and YOU are trash.

[Singer221fan]

@55mommacat

Oh no, they are right about one thing. Look at the abbreviation they started their post with... OMG. "Oh, my God." Lookinland cries out to God without knowing it. :)

Take a breath sister. Remember, Christ loves him/her too. Children don't always listen to their parents, but we're all the children of God. :)

[Lookinland]

OMG The church really ruled the roost back then even in the movies

Beautiful piece of nostalgia hollywood,but I'm also very glad those days of papal worship are gone,and that the truth is finally coming out

That God didnt father Jesus and Lazarus wasn't raised from the dead etc,that this was all made up by the religions to gain popularity

[KacieHoltzinger]

@Lookinland oh grow up, dont bash religon on here. No one cares, let us enjoy the music and the happy comments about a beautiful voice not ur snarky little trying to fit in with people these day comments.

[jhentlekiss]

Angelic Face with an Angelic voice! what a combination! Truly Heaven Sent!

[jax1961]

Amen!

[joeasmythe]

We need more people like her in show business. Nowadays, there is a lot of trash our kids watch, clean it up.......................

[usaespspo]

donde estan estas peliculas tan bellas?????

[237cupcake]

she's sooooo pretty

[zeekrock]

As beautiful as it gets on earth!

[ABEZINY]

23 people are atheists.

[xraytech86]

Great clip, and what a lovely voice to sing to the Blessed Mother. Can anyone tell me what the name of this movie is, as I'd love to watch it

[TheBoroboy888]

They dont make singers like this no more !!

now adays is going to school to sing !! wasnt the same in diana's day !!

[cowboy45longcolt]

WOW

What a powerfull performance,and the setting is right on.I would have loved to be an extra for that filming.And I dont know how anybody could not feel the emotion,and the human spirit we all share.Listening simply transformed me to a place of peace.

Thank you for posting.

Henry

[changcvl]

how sweet and pleasant to listen 2

[mikeyzip]

and I heard an angel sing, I thought I died but thank the Lord I woke up and it was Deanna Durbin.........

[PinkPoodleSkirt77]

Are you kidding me with this??? Oh, Sweet Deanna... and Sweet Uploader!!! Thank you for sharing this with my delighted ears and my full heart :)

[RennyGd]

Ah,yes, a beautiful rendition of a great song sung by Deana Durbin. It was back when Hollywood had respect for the Catholic Church and Christianity in general. Those days are long gone. Deana Durbin is still around though.

[joelat713]

Wow! They don't make 'em like that any more, boys.

[RandyNewmanFan]

Bravissimo, con amore

[Goldschatz62]

das geht unter die Haut, perfekt, alle Sterne die es gibt, danke, einfach klasse

[xiTzblazinx]

what movie is this?

[mikeyzip]

I noticed the post above about Catholic's and Protestant's bashing each other. Hard to understand in this day when Christians should come together and be as Christ wanted us to be. At least try to forget who we once were and remember who we are supposed to be. War is on the horizen, and what's going today seems to escape these people.

[seugill20]

exquisita

[word2urmother24]

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO WITH THE LYRICS!! I've been looking all over for them :-)

[Chicagojerry44]

There are no words to describe this song....

[bluexxg]

Andres Perello de Segurola coach all career of Deanna and her movies he went back to Conservatorio de Barcelona giving lessons to my grand aunthie and Nadine Conner- Deanna came to Barcelona during Wagner Festival of Bayreuth in Liceu 1953 she said to my aunthie in 1960 cirka that Victoria delos Angeles was magnificent ideal voice

[55mommacat]

This is pure and abolutely beautiful. The are no other words to says about this!! What a beautiful tribute to the Mother Mary!

[france2017]

Une voix pure, un visage... virginal

[freddietonton]

This serene and celestial musical piece is so beautiful and a fitting tribute of human ingenuity to the Mother of God, the blessed Virgin Mary. He who loves Jesus must likewise love the one he loves, no less than her mother Mary, who actually is the first Christian disciple by submitting herself to the will of God. Here in the Philippines the great devotion to Mary is so prevalent among Catholics. We feel blessed to be he only predominantly Catholic/Christian nation in Asia.

[aubreyaub]

@freddietonton I am not a Theiest. But I agree. Beautiful , Sweet, heart, music, will always make this world go around.

[Homoclassicus]

@freddietonton Some Christians forget the huge importance of the Virgin Mary: by submitting to the willd of God, she accepted the most important task ever, to be the mother of God's Son. She knew she'd face a great challenge, but she was humble and loved God above anyone else, even herself. Before Jesus was born, she already became the first Christian. No wonder she's full of grace and the Lord is with her: she was fulfilled with God's graces because her heart was entirely open to his will.

[dearloverofgod]

@freddietonton your words do make me cry in happiness, yes we should love mary

[Takoushjanik]

Truly beautiful rendition! Vraimant merveilleux!!!!

[VirgilPB]

Que rendicion tan hermosa del ave maria, me gusta mas que ninguna otra , Y he escuchado muchas otras versiones, Gracias , Marco Antonio

[pierluigi2808]

Stupenda interpretrazione questa è musica da ascoltare

[kiss468]

TUDO DE BOM!!! ELEVA NOSSA ALMA PARA O ALTO, PARA FRENTE, PARA DEUS!!!

[neris322]

BELLISIMA!!

[mikeyzip]

Why do Christians attack each other????????

[1pwNz0mb13Z]

i dont like the choir in the background,

I only want to hear her delicate voice and the beautiful instruments

[cpklapper]

(Ellen's Third Song -- concluded) Ave Maria! stainless styled. Foul demons of the earth and air, From this their wonted haunt exiled, Shall flee before thy presence fair. We bow us to our lot of care, Beneath thy guidance reconciled; Hear for a maid a maiden's prayer, And for a father hear a child! Ave Maria.

[cpklapper]

(Ellen's Third Song -- continued) Ave Maria! undefiled! The flinty couch we now must share Shall seem this down of eider piled, If thy protection hover there. The murky cavern's heavy air Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smiled; Then, Maiden! hear a maiden's prayer, Mother, list a suppliant child! Ave Maria!

[cpklapper]

Scott's words are, I think, more affecting than the Latin hymn, especially "Though banish'd, outcast and reviled - Maiden! hear a maiden's prayer": Hymn to the Virgin by Sir Walter Scott Ave Maria! maiden mild! Listen to a maiden's prayer! Thou canst hear though from the wild; Thou canst save amid despair. Safe may we sleep beneath thy care, Though banish'd, outcast and reviled - Maiden! hear a maiden's prayer; Mother, hear a suppliant child! Ave Maria

[carinablom65]

Some music come into our lives and quickly go. Some STAY FOREVER and leave footprints on our heart.And we are never ever the same,those are JUST A STAR LIKE DEANNA DURBIN !!! !!! !!!

[xxSciagalaxx]

BELLISSIMA !!!!!!!!!

[peterboy48]

Just simply ,BRAVO

[purpleyoshi22]

This song really grips the soul.



[1419sunnyside]

I love her angelic voice.I can listen to her all day.I have seen some of her old movies.A big plus:she has a angelic face too,beautiful lady.I'm sure she's making everybody up there so happy.

[mandymermaid0966]

GOD BLESS DEANNA DURBIN

[RUSIKful]

У меня нет слов! Так много вариантов ее исполнения, но эта - это женская, нежная и прекрасная песня!

[JRobbySh]

She stopped making movies before I was even aware of her. Never realized how beautifully she sang until U-tube. Danke sehr!

[Rascal77s]

Am I twisted for saying Deanna is hot even as a nun?

[2urita]

Violinthief, don't heed Protestants and Catholics bashing each other. They don't mar our pleasure of listening to Ave Maria.

[abc1000001]

@proinloin This is from "Mad about Music".

[gjmf]

@abc1000001 ¿Is that the name of the movie?

[stokerrb]

@abc1000001 You are incorrect...this version is from It's a Date 1940.

[Tigermoon1950]

If you are so lucky to enter heaven, this is the first thing you will hear.

[freddietonton]

@Tigermoon1950 I agree. Sorry for those who despise Mary!!!!

[proinloin]

What is the hame of the Musical please?

[pagstube123]

The Angels came from the sky just to hear her sing this song. OMG. Brava! Brava!

[tatiannaraquel]

I prefer Vitas singing "Ave Maria" (Ellens dritten Gesang) than either Deanna Durbin or Sarah Brightman.

[mkworkman]

4:17 YouTube video: Ave Maria by Franz Schubert; sung by Deanna Durbin

[OmegaWolf747]

What movie is this from?

[billythedoggie]

i love when she glances up at her mom and the mom smiles at her but she keeps right on singing, not sure if her beauty or the song is more beautiful its what we say in horse racing business A DEAD HEAT only those who are familiar with the ponies will understand what i am saying...

[shlbycindy1]

Absolutely beautiful. One of the most beautiful renditions I've ever heard of Ave Maria.

[dlrunner]

She truly was an angel on earth.

[redturn85]

one of the most beautiful sound of this song she is the best

[Takoushjanik]

She sings like a beautiful part nightingale part angel. What a beautiful rendition of Ave Maria and coming from the mouth of a beautiful woman. I enjoyed her voice truly.

[gobbiize]

Wounderfull

[Pitchie29]

[naturestudy100]

[supermikeriver]

Simply splended to those who apprechiate opera, a foreign language and gift from God( JESUS CHRIST)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!:) <3

[sweetcharlie63]

To me, no denomination is needed when hearing such a beautiful rendition of this song. Deanna Durbin is perfection. God gave her the voice of an Angel.

[h9685]

This song has always given me goose bumps and makes me cry for the shear beauty of the song. thanks for posting
