The most beautiful rendition of Ave Maria I've ever heard

OK 1st This is NOT Maria Callas!! OK ITS NOT!

Please forgive the rather poor editing. I threw the clip together as best as I could however, my patience with this kind of thing is limited (I wasn't particularly happy with all of it) but no matter it's the song that counts and that's why I had to upload it. Please give me some comments if you like the song.

Ps I'm sure it's German she's singing it in =)

Pps If you're wondering why the crazy pics well, I had nothing else to put with the track and its kinda hard to know what to use when you're dealing with a prayer.

maybe this is correct I don`t know

Ave Maria! Maiden mild!
Listen to a maiden's pleading
from these rocks, stark and wild,
my prayer shall be wafted to thee.
we shall sleep safely till morning,
though men be ever so cruel.
o Maiden, see a maiden's distress,
O Mother, hear a suppliant child.

Ave Maria, undefiled!
When we upon this rock lie down
to slumber, and they protection covers us,
The hard stone will seem soft to us.
If Though smilest, the scent of roses will float
Through this murky cavern,
O Mother, hear a child's petition,
O maiden, 'tis a maid that calls!

Ave Maria, Maiden pure,
the demons of the earth and air,
drien forth by thy gracious glance
cannot stay here with us.
we will camly bow to fate
Since they holy comfort hovers over us;
Mayest though be favourably inclined to the maiden,
To the child that pleads for her father!

maybe????

German lyrics which Ive been moaned into putting uo, enjoy.

Ave Maria! Jungfrau mild,
Erhöre einer Jungfrau Flehen,
Aus diesem Felsen starr und wild
Soll mein Gebet zu dir hinwehen.
Wir schlafen sicher bis zum Morgen,
Ob Menschen noch so grausam sind.
O Jungfrau, sieh der Jungfrau Sorgen,
O Mutter, hör ein bittend Kind!
Ave Maria!

Ave Maria! Unbefleckt!
Wenn wir auf diesen Fels hinsinken
Zum Schlaf, und uns dein Schutz bedeckt
Wird weich der harte Fels uns dünken.
Du lächelst, Rosendüfte wehen
In dieser dumpfen Felsenkluft,
O Mutter, höre Kindes Flehen,
O Jungfrau, eine Jungfrau ruft!
Ave Maria!

Ave Maria! Reine Magd!
Der Erde und der Luft Dämonen,
Von deines Auges Huld verjagt,
Sie können hier nicht bei uns wohnen,
Wir woll'n uns still dem Schicksal beugen,
Da uns dein heil'ger Trost anweht;
Der Jungfrau wolle hold dich neigen,
Dem Kind, das für den Vater fleht.
Ave Maria!

I love trance, dubstep, gangster rap... but... this... this... is beautiful.

[666darkwisdom]

I like death metal, black metal, doom - this is the heaviest thing that touched my soul so far..

agent 47s theme song thumbs up!

[IntoTheMystical]

@toms641 If you check Schubert's Ave Maria on Wikipedia or other encyclopedia sites you will better understand. Later this song was rewritten using the Hail Mary prayer, but the song on this site is the original. The only comparison between true Ave Maria's is that they contain the same words. The words of the Catholic Hail Mary prayer.

[IntoTheMystical]

@toms641 Ave Maria is the religious "Hail Mary" prayer, no composer wrote it. The prayer was written by monks, who took the words from the Bible, many centuries ago. Gounod, like other composers before him, simply set the prayer to music, Schubert did not.

If you check the lyrics in the video information(Show more) under the video you will see there's no Hail Mary prayer. Schubert based this song on Walter Scott's poem "The Lady of the Lake". It's misnamed Ave Maria.

[toms641]

Thanks for that IntoTheMystical, but maybe the two Ave Maria's (Gounod and Franz

Schubert) are really related? "Alongside Schubert's Ave Maria (another contrafactum), the Bach/Gounod Ave Maria has become ..." and "Bach/Gounod Ave Maria is ... melody improvised by the French Romantic composer Charles Gounod superimposed over the Prelude No. 1 in C major, BWV 846, ..., written by J.S. Bach some 137 years earlier."

Go to wiki article for "Ave Maria (Bach/Gounod)"

[IntoTheMystical]

@toms641 This was written by Franz Schubert, it has nothing to do with Bach. Search Schubert Ave Maria, or Ellens dritter Gesang in Google, the truth about this song may surprise you.

[RosariaDF]

I have goosebumps all over. This is truly beautiful.

[XenChaotix]

573 people don't recognize beautiful music when they hear it.
