Thanks to Franz Schubert for this magnificent song. While 'Ave Maria' is widely considered a church song, it is actually a secular art song. It is tells the story about a young maiden who implores Mary to give her comfort in her time of distress. I always hear this piece around Christmas time and think it is absolutely beautiful - whether hearing a man or woman sing it. I was pleased to find that Andrea Bocelli sings it so amazingly. Enjoy.

Oh Andrea Bocelli perhaps sang with the heavenly hosts as his voice is straight from heaven. This is the most beautiful rendition of this song, I think I have ever heard. Wow.
