Ave MariaFranz Peter Schubert
Alongside Gounod/Bach’s and Caccini’s Ave Maria, it is regarded as one of the world’s three great Ave Marias.

Within the story of The Lady of the Lake, the character Ellen Douglas—known as the Lady of the Lake—who is being pursued by the king, softly intones a prayer to the Virgin Mary, and those words became the lyrics.
Its beautiful melody conveys the earnestness of the prayer and is deeply compelling.
