"Ave Maria" - Vavilov, Schubert, Gomez, & Gounod

I've learned a little about classical music since I began following Amira Willighagen's young career. 'Ave Maria,' Latin for Hail Mary, is the name of several classical arias. Here are four that Amira is known for. The first is composed by Vladimir Vavilov, performed December 18, 2016 at Asta Theater, Beek, Netherlands, Dion Ritten conductor.



This second is by Franz Schubert, sung by Amira at her 2019 Christmas concert at the St. James' Church, the Hague, Netherlands.



This third is by William Gomez and is from a Christmas concert in the Petrus Canisius Church in Nijmegen on December 19, 2015. Recorded on a cellphone.



And finally, the version that helped make her famous, composed by Johann Sebastian Bach and Charles Gounod, "Ave Maria," Lecce, Italy, 2016.
