Ave Maria was first performed by Frederick Jodry and the Brown University Chorus in Providence, RI, and later on tour in Italy. A live recording from that tour is available on Your Ear Records.
Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum,
benedicta tu in mulieribus,
et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus.
Sancta Maria, mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus nunc et in hora mortis nostrae, Amen.
Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee;
Blessed art thou among women,
And blessed is the fruit of they womb, Jesus.
O holy Mary, Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners now and in the hour of our death. Amen.
