Sung by Chloe Agnew, aged 23, to an audience of 5,000 at the Fox theatre on Broadway, this is my favourite recording of this moving piece of music And now on YouTube with more than 12 million views. The DVD of the full performance including Ave Maria is available on Amazon .

Here are the words in English...

Hail Mary, full of grace,
Mary, full of grace,
Mary, full of grace,
Hail, Hail, the Lord.
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women, and blessed,
Blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Thy womb, Jesus.
Hail Mary!
