Ave Maria
Music: Franz Schubert (1797-1828)
Words: A Latin Roman Catholic Prayer
Ave Maria is perhaps Schubert’s most recognizable composition. The Latin version is heard in countless weddings and funeral ceremonies. It was composed in 1825 as part of Schubert’s Opus 52, a setting of seven songs from the epic poem The Lady of the Lake, by Walter Scott (Scotland). The words were loosely translated into German from the English. Only later were the Latin words of the Catholic Prayer (the version we have all heard countless times) used as well.
Franz Peter Schubert (Austrian) was an extremely prolific composer given he only lived to be 31 years of age. He wrote over 600 lieder, ten symphonies (including the “Unfinished”), liturgical music, operas, incidental music, and a large body of chamber music and solo piano music. Schubert was one of the great early Romantic era composers, and the cornerstone of German lieder.
