岁月如歌

奥地利作曲家Franz Schubert (舒伯特) 虽然只活了三十一年 (那个年代的音乐家短命的很多, 巴赫好象例外)，但却是个高产的作曲家。他给后人留下了丰富的音乐财富。 “He wrote some 600 Lieder, nine symphonies (including the famous "Unfinished Symphony"), liturgical music, operas, some incidental music, and a large body of chamber and solo piano music".  他的Trout Quintet（鱒鱼）也是我十分喜爱的romantic的曲子。

节日前夕, 献上我挚爱的一首Ave Maria (圣母颂)。"The Ave Maria was composed in about 1825 by Franz Schubert (1797-1828) when he was twenty-eight years old and filled with devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was written for voice and piano and first Published in 1826 as Op 52 no 6. The words most commonly used with Schubert's music are not the words that the composer originally set to music. Franz Schubert actually wrote the music for an excerpt from the poem "The Lady of the Lake" by Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832), which was translated into German by Adam Storck. Schubert called his piece Ellens dritter Gesang (Ellen's third song)."

第一首是维也那童声合唱团 (Vienna Boys Choir) 演唱的，  真是天籁之声， 天使般的歌声,  纯净圣洁。 第二首是帕瓦罗蒂 (Luciano Pavarotti) 的演唱， 当之无愧的高音C之王的一首力作。
