Ave Maria by Schubert - Amadea

Schubert's "Ave Maria" is sung here in its Original language with the Original musical accompaniment -- piano.

This passionate and sensitive performance of Schubert's "Ave Maria" by Amadea (Mezzo-Soprano) will catch your attention. She is singing the "Ave Maria" in a classical style without microphones or amplifiers. In this performance you hear the words, the voice and the piano in an attractive, genuine setting. This is a "Live Performance" of Schubert's "Ave Maria," op. 52, no. 6 by Dorothea Fayne (Mezzo-Soprano) and Uwe Streibel (Piano) in a Concert at Pfingsten - May 2007.

The "Ave Maria" by Franz Schubert is also known as "Ellens dritter Gesang." It's Original text was derived from a poem in English that was written by Sir Walter Scott. Schubert recreates the feeling of a well-known Latin prayer in this song, which begins with the words: "Ave Maria, grátia plena, Dominus tecum ..." This he does by incorporating the rhythms of the authentic Latin prayer into his musical composition. Like many of Franz Schubert's songs, the music of "Ave Maria" - its melody, harmony and rhythm - elevates the words of the poem to such an extent that one cannot ignore the fact that he has created a musical masterpiece from a simple Latin prayer the, "Ave Maria."

Though the song may still have the feeling of it's model, it is at the same time a completely new work of art. This is part of the beauty of many Schubert songs. His musical language has the power to change and even "open to interpretation" the actual meaning of the words. This is Romanticism at the highest possible level.

so the original language isn't Latin? because some say it was originally in Latin, most versions I've heard are in Latin

@KelbyLeeAnne but for this particular composition, YES, German is the original language because that is how Schubert wrote it.

I loved the movement of shadow and light on your skin covering your vocal cords as your body moved in concert with the melody and 4:37 to 4:48 was absolutely thrilling. At the end, the piano was dreamy, spiritual and luminous.

Dorthea, very nice. I am not accustomed to hearing a mezzo sing this. It was nice to hear the change in timbre. I have to admit I was a little distracted by your body movements. Thanks for posting this, it was a pleasure to listen to.
