"This is one of seven poems from Sir Walter Scott's The Lady of the Lake which Schubert set to music in 1825. Translation
Hail Mary, maiden of heaven, sovereign of grace and Pious Mother accept every hour a fervent prayer.

Do not deny to my lost heart to tremble in its pain.

Lost, my soul turns to you and full of hope it prostrates itself at your feet.

It invokes and awaits for the beautiful peace that only You can give it.

Hail Mary, full of grace, Mary, full of grace x 2. Hail mother of the Lord.

The Lord be with thee. Thou [art] blessed amongst all women and blessed [are] men.And blessed is the fruit of the womb,of thy womb Jesus. Hail Mary!

Podcast Summary

Rest in Peace, Luciano,

He entertained us with his voice, and his wonderful smile. I will remember him, as will so many others.

Pavarotti enjoyed 40 years on the world stage and became one of the world's biggest-selling artists.

His music reached far beyond the usual opera audience, particularly his signature tune Nessun Dorma, from Puccini's Turandot, which became associated with the 1990 football World Cup.(see links below)

His performances with Domingo and Jose Carerras at this time - in the Three Tenors concerts - were seen around the world
