Ave Maria (Schubert) on Harp Guitar - An RLSguitar Christmas Greeting

© 2008 --- Tuning: DF#GABC# | DADF#AD --- This video is a Christmas Greeting for 2008 from my family and me. For this very special occasion celebrating the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ, I made an original instrumental arrangement for harp guitar of the Schubert version of "Ave María".

The Austrian composer Franz Peter Schubert wrote this song in 1825, originally titled "Ellens dritter Gesang" (Ellens Gesang III, D839, Op 52 no 6, 1825), or "Ellen's Third Song" in English. "Ave Maria" ("Hail Mary" in Latin) are the opening words and in the refrain of Ellen's song. Perhaps this is why Schubert's melody was adapted to the traditional Roman Catholic prayer "Ave Maria". The Latin version of the Ave Maria prayer is what is most frequently used with Schubert's melody.

Thanks for watching, I hope you like it, and merry Christmas to all!

God bless,
- Robert
