Ave Maria by William Gomez

+

As the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe draws nigh, 
I ask the Blessed Mother to embrace us all 
and take us to her Son Jesus.

The following setting of Ave Maria by William Gomez is one of the most beautiful settings of the prayer sung by Elina Garanča, mezzo-soprano, in Vienna during Christmastide A.D. 2007.  The text of this setting is in Spanish.



Sancta Maria, ora pro nobis peccatoribus
nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.
