this musical piece is written by the french composer 'Charles Gounoud' in 1859. its a melody imposed over Bachs Prelude no1 in C major, from the WELL TEMPERED CLAVIER written by bach 137 years before...the words a musical interpretation of a preexisting latin text, and as said the inscribed by gounoud.

sorry,drbarbarbaker, but this is the BACH/GOUNOD version. Just listen to the Schubert and Gounod versions back to back, maybe you can hear the difference

This is beautiful.Another good one is Dolores O Riordan of the Cranberries. She has such a recognizable voice! Like non other!:)

This is the song as Schubert composed it. Schubert was a European of the early nineteenth century. Others applied the Latin text of the prayer Ave Maria to these notes, a version which is heard much more often than the authentic German text. The translation appears to be fine.This is unrelated to the Bach-Gounod Ave Maria, a song adapted from a Bach prelude by Gounod, which always had a Latin text.

Mary was the mother of Jesus. She was no European or American. She was Palestinian. This beautiful song was written for Mary.

you don't even know what 'virgin' or ' mary' means, so shut up you wanna be intellectual

there was no virgin marry. The bible is a made up copy of paganism and the egyption book of the dead, watch zeitgeist, hello?
