Franz Schubert
Written in C major, range G4 to G5
Ellen, hiding in a mountain cave with her outlawed father, prays to the Virgin Mary to keep them safe through the night. Schubert wrote it in 1825 to a German translation of Walter Scott’s poem The Lady of the Lake; the Latin “Ave Maria” words most people sing today were fitted to it later.
