Advent calendar: day 19


Your Sunday prize: a simply amazing Christmas-y song, Schubert's Ellens dritter Gesang, better known simply as Ave Maria.

The issue: there are so many versions of this song to share! So, here are two. The first is probably not Maria Callas (there is much dispute in Spanish/English as to whether she sang this at all), but it is beautiful and highly recommended for Jampa Grim's listening pleasure.



The second version I've chosen is a personal favourite, but by no means should J.G. be allowed to watch this. (I would like to eat Christmas dinner when I arrive in East Sooke, after all.) This is Chris Cornell with an unorthodox rendition of Ave Maria.
