-
- Ave Maria or Hail Mary,
name given by Roman Catholics to a form of address to the
Virgin Mary,
- included in the Divine Office and in a few
antiphons of the Mass. Ave Maria are the first two
- words of the prayer that is taken from the salutation
(see Luke 1:28) of the angel Gabriel,
- traditionally
worded: "Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with
thee; blessed art thou among
- women." Appearing in
varying forms as early as the 6th century in the Liturgy
of St. James
- and others, the Ave Maria was finally
adopted as a popular devotion in the 11th century.
- The
present form was fixed by Pope Pius V in 1568 and has
been used by the Roman
- Catholic laity as widely as the
Our Father, or Lord's Prayer.
-

-
The
recordings of "The Lord's Prayer" and "Ave Maria" were recorded in "Living Stereo"
but released
-
only once on this limited edition stereo RCA Victor single. All re-releases
following this time were either
-
in monaural or electronically reprocessed stereo.
These recordings were recovered and re-mixed from the original
- three-track master tapes specifically
at the request of George Townsend who compiled and sequenced
-
this compilation for Buddha Records in
2001. With appreciation to Rob Santos, Dennis Ferrante and the
- RCA Records Label. A significant find.
