舒伯特在1825年,28岁时写下这首名曲「圣母颂」。
原诗是苏格兰大文豪司各脱的著名长诗「湖上美人」中的一段诗。
在战火瀰漫的黄昏, 士官罗德利在荒野漫步,不经意听到动人的歌声,原来是达格拉斯的公主爱莲,和著老臣贝恩的竖琴,在向圣母祷告的声音。
这是一首纯洁少女为了代父赎罪,向马利亚祈祷的歌曲,因此舒伯特的这首圣母颂,是为女高音独唱而作,以女声演唱最能表达曲中的感情。
歌曲由最弱奏的和缓的前奏开始,有如河水潺潺而流。
歌曲的开头和结束都採用同样的乐句,宛若天上仙乐。
曲中表现少女从心底发出的虔诚的祷告心情,充满了对慈悲圣母的信仰与依归。
Ave Maria,仁慈圣母,
请您倾听这虔诚告白,
请您伸张仁慈圣手,
请您来抚慰我这心中悲苦,
我将无处投靠身心,
永托您那慈恩庇护,
啊,我高贵仁慈的圣母啊!
请听听这虔诚的祈祷,
Ave Maria。

Dominus tecum
Benedicta tu in mulieribus

Ave Maria
Ave Maria Mater dei
Ora pro nobis pecatoribus
Ora, ora pro nobis
Ora ora pro nobis pecatoribus
Nunc et in hora mortis
In hora mortis, mortis nostrae
In hora mortis nostrae
Ave Maria!
The Hail Mary (or Ave Maria in Latin) has been set to music numerous times. Among the most famous settings is the version by Charles Gounod (1859), adding melody and words to Johann Sebastian Bach's first prelude from the Well-Tempered Clavier. Antonín Dvořák's version was composed in 1877. Another setting of Ave Maria was written by Giuseppe Verdi for his 1887 opera Otello. Settings also exist by Mozart, Byrd, Elgar, Verdi, Saint-Saëns, Rossini, Brahms, Stravinsky, Schubert, and Perosi as well as numerous versions by less well-known composers, such as J.B. Tresch. Anton Bruckner wrote three different settings. This CD includes 17 classical renditions of "Ave Maria", plus 3 bonus tracks performed by Celine Dion, Pavarotti, Sissel.
