Wir schlafen sicher bis zum Morgen, Ob Menschen noch so grausam sind. O Jungfrau, sieh der Jungfrau Sorgen, O Mutter, hör ein bittend Kind! Ave Maria! Ave Maria! Unbefleckt! Wenn wir auf diesen Fels hinsinken Zum Schlaf, und uns dein Schutz bedeckt. Wird weich der harte Fels uns dünken. Du lächelst, Rosendüfte wehen. In dieser dumpfen Felsenkluft, O Mutter, höre Kindes Flehen, O Jungfrau, eine Jungfrau ruft! Ave Maria! Ave Maria! Reine Magd! Der Erde und der Luft Dämonen, Von deines Auges Huld verjagt, Sie können hier nicht bei uns wohnen, Wir woll'n uns still dem Schicksal beugen, Da uns dein heil'ger Trost anweht; Der Jungfrau wolle hold dich neigen, Dem Kind, das für den Vater fleht.

"For Your Deliverance Compassion brims in our hearts, vast Goodness incarnate, wrought in our noble forms Unwavering in front of the strongest of gales Remaining humble and calm when praised For the sake of the earth’s people, we came Yet most have forgotten they were once divine The Creator hath laid forth a way back to Heaven We herald the truth in these mad last days And for this, we are persecuted Danger shall not change our convictions True faith fulfilled shall deliver us from darkness 2020 *** Your State of Mind in Troubled Times Many wonder why this world is so troubled Our woes stem from the absence of goodness The godless shall perish at the End of Days Modern thought and ways lead only to the Devil’s side Man was not divinely made for such a dissolute life But to await the God-given chance of return to heaven The Creator turns the Falun out of immense grace You came not to this earth for worldly wants Distance yourself from China’s wicked Party and its mad last throes, to be spared disaster For surviving the judgment is all that matters 2020 *** Sweet Compassion Standing upon the street corner, worry fills my soul Catastrophe hangs overhead in these end times Little direction do people have, so occupied with life Dafa, the Great Way that saves, opens Heaven’s gates What the leaflet in my hand conveys is true I strive to help humanity at the Creator’s behest Most lives in this world are higher beings incarnate The doctrines of atheism and evolution bewitch men so Modern thought and ways do harm unto oneself These truthful words can bring health and salvation A glint of mercy, a whiff of compassion sweet in these troubled times September 27, 2020" (Master Li Hongzhi, Hong Yin VI, from Falun Dafa teachings)

No matter who sings this song it adopts to all their voices yet is different I find from person to person yet each one's way and style or voice singing is is unique and special.

[@slipperyslope7970]

In a review of a 1992 recital, Edward Rothstein of The New York Times likened her voice to a “grand mansion of sound.” “It defines an extraordinary space,” he wrote. “It has enormous dimensions, reaching backward and upward. It opens onto unexpected vistas. It contains sunlit rooms, narrow passageways, cavernous halls. Ms. Norman is the regal mistress of this domain, with a physical presence suited to her vocal expanse.”

[@colleensmithson404]

Perfection personified in her voice. The heavens sat in awe and observed the voice of emotions, existence and tranquility. Time and space sat still momentarily.

Magnifique !

[@JonTrott]

Thank you. God bless you as you take up your place alongside the angels. Jessye Norman RIP September 30 2019.

[@ВераШвецова-ж6б]

Голос как ручеёк: чистый, журчащий. Даже отрывистый, резкий немецкий язык не помешал. Браво! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@ТамараПавловна-ш8ц]

Враво! Но вживую, увы, этот великолепный голос уже не прозвучит! Осенью позапрошлого года Джесси Норман не стало. 🙏

God bless you on your next journey Ms. Norman. Thank you for the gift that you left the Earth.

何と言う声の響き、洗練された、透明感、奥の深さ、さりげな歌い方、歌に秘められた心の響き、、、、これ以上何お望めるのか！！！！！、晩年のジェシーの研ぎ澄まされた歌、ブラボ~~~、ありがとう。

In some way, the most amazing thing here is the sampling of people from all over the world who praised Ms. Norman for her incredible vocal skills and her impeccable talent and phrasing. Look at all the different languages in the comments below and you can see that she transcended all borders, all dialects, all elements that we typically consider "dividers" and how we all can appreciate her astounding abilities as a operatic soprano. Truly, a performer unlike any other.

Some of the most beautiful, smooth legato singing I've ever heard came from Jessye Norman, and this performance is an example of that. Makes me melt every time!

[@jameskliewer5809]

It's all about the legato. When you hear it, you know. Strange how no one who has such flawless legato lacks any of the other vocal characteristics you want to hear. She vibrates it just as she wishes, and only when she wishes; then she puts that legato out without a flutter, even on the high notes. And you can understand every word.

[@kindlydude]

It brings me to copious tears for its sheer Perfection & Beauty ...this Voice of an Angel, Jessye Norman!! Her expressions, legato, tremolo, etc. were ...otherworldly ...Heavenly ...impossibly beautiful for this lowly earthly plane of existence ...She exalted the very space around her into ethereal perfection! ...She lifted you to another plane ...a Heavenly plane ...and helped the faltering soul believe in eternity!!!

[@user-io5fq3jv8q]

This is beautifully sung, and in perfect German too.

[@MrMariof1]

+John Kirk No she is not nazis

[@williamboulet1029]

In very good German, not perfect.

[@sabinechmielewski5262]

I am shocked - is everybody in your mind who is German a Nazi? I am not. I am German and have nothing to do with Nazis, but love our music and language and I love everyone who interprets the incredible treasure of music in a beautiful way.

[@weinerbeater191]

Maybe someone prefers Latin since they get used to hear this song sung by Latin.

[@VeraMPfundt]

Just explore this guy's internet presence on KZbin or Google+. Needs no further explaining. Don't waste a single thought.

There are no words to describe this beautiful rendition of the Ave Maria. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@mariageusarodrigues4116]

Essa é uma das mais linda vozes incomparável nessa ave Maria, muito pura cantada com a alma que passa uma emoção para quem escuta.🙏

[@natalegalleran6568]

La eccellente interpretazione artistica della Norman, unita alla versione in tedesco del testo, conferiscono a un brano oltremodo famoso il tocco del sublime.
