Story Behind The Song
An old melody left in my drawers has caught my attention, as I wanted to explore more the choir that I recently bought at 8Dio. I immediately thought of lyrics and called a friend of mine, a very talented soprano, Nancy, to learn the song.
Song Description
An epic tribute to la Vierge Marie with orchestra and choir. Lyrics in my birth language (french) and excerpts from the well known timeless prayer, in latin.

Lyrics
Ave Maria (english translation at the end)
---------
(verse 1) La lueur du jour grandit à l'horizon
Et caressera la plaine endormie
Notre bel été est déjà fini
Viendras-tu bénir le temps des moissons?
Ô Maria
Ave
Gratià plena
Ave
(verse 2) Ce matin je viens plus tôt qu'à l'habitude
Et bien que je n'aie guère à te donner
J'ai le coeur empli d'infinie gratitude
Je lève les yeux
Et je te regarde
(chorus) Sancta Maria
Gratià plena
Toi, la mère de tous les hommes
Dominus tecum
Nunc, et in horà
Mostris nostrae
Prie pour nous ici-bas
Maria, Avé !
(interlude)
(verse 3) Tu nous accompagnes vers un autre jour
Fais que nous les pauvres, les misérieux
Restions unis dans la paix et l'amour
Et que de nos guerres
Nous sortions frères
Ô Maria
Ave
(music)
(to chorus)
(Music finale)
A......men!

Avé Maria de la Plaine is because I am living in Sainte Anne des Plaines, a little village. "Holy Anne of the plains".
(verse 1) The daylight is rising behind the horizon, and will soon caress the awaking plain.
As summer comes to an end, will you bless our harvest ?
Ô Maria, Avé, You are full of grace, Avé.
(verse 2) This morning I am here earlier than usual, even though I dont have much to offer, I am so thankful in my heart, I look up and watch you
(Chorus) Holy Maria, full of grace, our mother, God stands by you.
Now and until our death, pray for us all, Maria, Avé.
(verse 3) You bring us to a brand new day, we are poor and humble, may we all be united with peace and love, may we all come out as brothers from wars and quarrels
(chorus + music)
Amen
