Just so you know, I subscribed to the RSS feeds of these two Ave Maria posts and love seeing activity here almost 4 years later. I did end up singing the Ave during my wedding. It went over very well, and if I get around to it, maybe I can snip a clip of it from our wedding video to share with you.

Our wedding was in May and in August I ended up singing the song again, in church, for my Grandmother’s funeral.

After that, I’ve sung the other versions of Ave Maria, particularly for Christmas Eve Midnight Mass. I’d been asked to do the Schubert version for others, but had respectfully declined in the hopes of reserving my only performance of that piece for two of the most important women in my life.

So I just wanted to say thanks for your website, and these two posts in particular. That piece, and in turn you and your site will always have a special place in my heart.

The first reason is for the sake of vocal health: it is almost impossible that she has the technique required for the correct singing of the sustained lines of which this piece exclusively consists. Sustained singing should not be attempted until basic vocal technique is perfect. (References: Richard Miller, Mathilde Marchesi.) Secondly – and from experience – Schubert’s Ave is a song she will sing for the rest of her life. If she learns it this young, she will certainly learn it incorrectly, and will need to spend a tremendous amount of time and energy when she is older unlearning and then relearning it.

I’m sure it would sound sweet, but for your granddaughter’s own good, she should not attempt this song so young.

She is 10 years old and has an exceptional voice. Any suggestions for a child’s version?

And yes, tenors are usually hard to find for church choirs! Recruitment for church choir tenors can get pretty hardcore sometimes, like a military recruiter. 🙂

Thanks for the info, very informative indeed. Last weekend my fiancee and I met with the music coordinators at our parish, and they were fine with me doing the Ave during the mass. In fact, after they had me sing it (to find my key, C major) I was recruited for the choir which is in desperate need of tenors.
