Schubert, Franz. Ave Maria. 1825. New York: G. Schirmer, Inc., 1902. Print.
One of Schubert's most celebrated works, "Ave Maria" was composed as a setting of a song from an epic poem. Originally performed under the title "Ellen's Third Song", the composition's lyrics have changed overtime, ultimately differing greatly from the original content of the poem. This version of the song employs the Latin text from the Roman Catholic prayer of the same name, as well as its English and German translation.
