Francisca Rigaud sings: SCHUBERT AVE MARIA, accompanied by Kenny G! Beautiful Footage from Cyprus!!!

Описание: This is one of the most beautiful melodies ever, and very much beloved all over the world. I already have an older version here on my channel -    • Francisca Rigaud sings: AVE MARIA (Schuber...   - accompanied by an awesome orchestra, but now wanted something different, and this time I sing it with Kenny G.

I will dedicate this absolutely amazing piece of music to my very dear friend Vicki Hadfield, who celebrated her birthday today!!! Happy Birthday, lovely!!!!

I sing quite a few versions of Ave Maria and am always surprised to find out that most people think that this is the only version ever composed. They are all equally beautiful and all deserve our full attention, if you are in this kind of music, that is:

Ave Maria by Bach/Gounod accompanied by an orchestra:    • Francisca Rigaud sings: Ave Maria - Bach/G...  
Ave Maria Bach/Gounod accompanied by the awesome harpist Andrea Lardella:    • Francisca Rigaud sings: Ave Maria (Bach/Go...  
. Ave Maria by Astor Piazzola, which was originally called Tanti Anni Prima and composed for a movie, but maybe because it is so angelic it became known as Ave Maria:    • Francisca Rigaud sings: Ave Maria (Tanti A...  
Ave Maria by Caccini, but most probably by a much more recent composer Vavilov, who didn't have enough confidence to bring out in his name, but which is utterly beautiful:    • Francisca Rigaud sings: CACCINI AVE MARIA ...  
. Ave Maria by William Gomez, sung in Spanish, which he composed for the wife of a friend, the awesome opera singer Elina Garanca, but never heard her perform because he sadly died of cancer:    • Francisca Rigaud sings: Ave Maria (William...  

I hope I haven't forgotten any, hahaha... which would be my favourite? I don't have a favourite. They are all beautiful in their own right and I hope that I did them all justice!!!

I did everything on this video, the recording, video editing, photography, video... And all the imaging was done during a recent holiday in Cyprus, with no song in mind, but I feel that they fitted here beautifully. Even the images of my feet bathing in the sea to me links with the fact that Jesus wanted his feet to be bathed as a sign of humility! I try to live my life with humility... so to me these images have a lot of meaning!
