Ave Maria (Ellens dritter Gesang), D. 839 / Op. 52 No. 6
by Franz Schubert
Voice (Soprano)PianoRomanticLied~5 minintermediate
Schubert's setting of Adam Storck's German translation of a passage from Walter Scott's "The Lady of the Lake." Although commonly associated with the Latin "Ave Maria" prayer, Schubert's original text is quite different. The gently rocking piano accompaniment and ethereal vocal line have made it one of the most beloved melodies ever composed, performed at weddings, funerals, and concerts worldwide.
