Schubert - Ave Maria (Opera)

This version is the one I've been looking for. It's the one you hear in the media lol and my fav. The clean & smooth way she transitions from Ave to Maria.

what a great performance of this piece.

This is THE best rendition!

(cont:)
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

Philip Adam Storck translated The Lady of the Lake into German in 1819 and this translation became the basis for Schubert's song cycle of "The Lady of the Lake". This is "Ellen's third song".

Ave Maria! undefiled!
The flinty couch we now must share
Shall seem with down of elder piled,
If thy protection hover there.
The murkry cavern's heavy air
Shall breathe of balm if thou has smiled;
Then, Maiden! hear a maiden's prayer,
Mother, list a suppliant child!
Ave Maria!

This is a beatutiful song and beautifully sung - exactly as Schubert intended. Here are the original English words:
By Sir Walter Scott "Hymn to the Virgin" from poem "Lady of the Lake":
"Ave Maria! maiden mild!
Listen to a maiden's prayer!
Thou canst hear through the wild,
Thous canst save amid despair.
Safe may we sleep beneath thy care,
Though banished, outcast, and reviled -
Maiden! hear a maiden's prayer;
Mother, hear a suppliant child!
Ave Maria!

Текст оригинала песни - немецкий, не латынь. Шуберт писал эту песню как часть цикла песнь к немецкому переводу поэмы Вальтера Скотта "Lady of the lake". Молодая девушка прячется в лису и молится. Церковь "украла" эту песню и добавила стандартные латинские слова.

Rayos! Esta canción me lleva a otro mundo, donde gobierna la paz.

dont say! ha
