I googled for Jungfrau Maria which is an opera aria out of the opera named: Allesandro Stradella, composed by an von Flotto, as far as I know a very unknown composer. but since he is a German that might mean that his compositions are not very well known here in Canada.
A got nothing but Ave Maria answers but this is a completely different composition.
This name I got from Rolando Villazon’s biography.
Can anybody help me with the text and/or the translation?

Hi there Conrad, like with my predecessors, my version is no different. Can you maybe tell me who the well known sopranos are who performed this piece (Ave Maria) by Schubert in German? I have a mp3 recording by a soprano not knowing her name. It is so beautifully done. Thank you for the info though.

I have been practising Ave Maria to sing soprano at my Uncle’s wedding this weekend. Thanks for helping me giving me the lyrics in English so I can understand more what I’m singing. Giving me a history of the composer and how Ave Maria came about were also helpful.

The most beautiful version of Ave Maria I have heard , is sung by Nana Mouskouri. You should check it out. You will know what i mean when you hear it.

Great post! Just the info I was looking for.

I am getting married in a Catholic ceremony in a few months, and my soon to be wife had the idea of me singing Ave Maria during the ceremony as she presents Mary with flowers. In my searching the intarwebs, I came across someone who posted that Ave Maria is rarely sung by tenors and practically never by baritones.

My questions are:

1. Is this really true?
2. Is it inappropriate for a male to sing Ave Maria due to the original context of the lyrics?
3. If it is, does it even matter these days because it is more widely known in it’s Latin incarnation?
4. Is it ok for me to actually do that? (by “that” I mean do the singing during the ceremony while my wife does her thing with Mary)

Thanks for any help you can throw my way. I’ll be subscribing to your RSS feeds!
