Ave Maria, gratia plena - amazing song!

"Ave Maria, gratia plena" (Hail Mary, full of grace) by Schubert is probably one of the most recognizable and most beautiful songs ever produced. As an atheist, I don't care for the theological significance, but the music is divine, he he he.

When I get married (assuming I will), then I will definitely include this song in the musical ensemble. And, most certainly, when I eventually pass away, this song will have to be included in the memorial event.

Here's the music:
a. In its original German (Schubert was) by an amazing woman singer (possibly Maria Callas?): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQVz6vuNq7s
b. In its most well known Latin by the great Placido Domingo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mIu_O0n4Dc
(You should listen to that one by Placido Domingo, it is so powerful! I saw it in concert and it was so emotional, my hair stood and I lost control of my bladder, hahahaha. This is in duet with Michael Bolton so you would see the difference between the two singers and can appreciate how magical Domingo's voice is.")
c. But this one by tenor Andrea Bocelli is my favorite. Bocelli sings with seemingly no effort so the effect is calm and melodious. By the way, there is a sub-title in this video so you will notice that the song lyrics follow the popular but controversial Catholic prayer, the Hail Mary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbA63uIbqqY

There are many versions of the Ave Maria theme, but Schubert's "Ave Maria, gratia plena" is easily the greatest.

ateo bakit pegasus ang avatar mo?

Jewel, hahahaha, ipapahamak mo naman ako niyang comment mo. Hindi yan Pegasus. It is the mystical horse, a sacred animal that is always associated with many religious traditions including Islam and Christianity. Revelation 6:3-4 talked about the Red Horse. In contrast, Pegasus is a pagan god, he he he. Only some people like pagan gods. Do you like to visit pagan gods, Jewel?

Ateo, maron rin ako nyan. Binigay sa aking ng isang Heswita nung tine-train nya pa ako.

Alin ang meron ka, Heartie? Ang CD ng Ave Maria?

Nope, ang meron ako ay ang album ng mga Jesuits na may kantang Ave Maria.

Do you like it, the song? Which of the three YouTube files that I showed did you like best? I like the one of Andrea Bocelli.

Yung B sa akin, Ateo, hihihihi.
