LYRICAL & CAPTIVATING
Story behind the song
LYRICAL & CAPTIVATING, Schubert's Ave Maria is perhaps the most beautiful song ever composed. The poignant melody keeps to a very contained range but artfully weaves in and out of different keys and harmonies. Here it is repeated twice, the second time with a light veil of cymbals. The main melody is entrusted to the flute, while a piano and bass keep a steady accompaniment.
