Long ago I had the honour of playing this Ave Maria with my brother (violin and piano) at our Holy Mother church of "El Carmen", the church of seamen, at Cádiz, Spain. I'll never forget that.😊
Lyrics : Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum, benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui Iesus. Sancta Maria mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc, et in hora mortis nostræ. Amen.

During little sufferings pray by making the invocation, “Mary!” and tell her you want it all to serve whatever intentions are most acceptable to her. Thus you put your sufferings like a chisel in the hands of a master sculptor. - St. Maximilan Kolbe
SING OF MARY, PURE AND LOWLY Sing of Mary, pure and lowly, Virgin mother undefiled, Sing of God's own Son most holy, Who became her little child. Fairest child of fairest mother, God the Lord who came to earth, Word made flesh, our very brother, Takes our nature by his birth. Sing of Jesus, son of Mary, In the home at Nazareth. Toil and labour cannot weary Love enduring unto death. Constant was the love he gave her, Though he went forth from her side, Forth to preach, and heal, and suffer, Till on Calvary he died. Glory be to God the Father; Glory be to God the Son; Glory be to God the Spirit; Glory to the Three in One. From the heart of blessed Mary, From all saints the song ascends, And the Church the strain reechoes Unto earth's remotest ends.
You know you'll have a top notch version when you see a Harp, instead of a piano. I ALWAYS prefer harp. Fascinating looking, and heavenly sounding, instrument.
We sing chant and sacred polyphony every time we have Mass. I have sung this version of Victoria's Ave Maria Stella before. The choir is good, but they sing the chant so slowly, it drags. You have to move it forward 1.25X in the settings to get it to be the right place.
