On sunday A friend at church who is a convert to Mormonism asked me to sing Ave Maria at her Fathers funeral this friday. I told her I would be honored. I have been working on the Latin Gounod version, trying to have it memorized by Friday.
Here is Kathleen Battle and Christopher Parkening Performing Bach / Gounod’s Ave Maria Live at the 1987 Grammy Awards.

I hope to invite the spirit of the Lord with my version of this wonderful hymn.
