Ave Maria

This week we will learn some facts about the Renaissance Period. Let's listen to a piece by Spanish Composer T.L. Victoria: 'Ave Maria'. The lyrics are taken from the catholic prayer in latin:

Ave Maria

gratia plena, 

Dominus tecum. 

Benedicta tu in mulieribus, 

et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Iesus. 

Sancta Maria, 

Mater Dei, 

ora pro nobis peccatoribus, 

nunc, et in ora mortis nostrae. 

Amen.

L.O.V.E.

Watch the video and find the hidden words:

L is for the way you ------- at me 
O is for the only one I ------- 
V is very, very ------- 
E is even more than ------- that you ------- can 

Love is all that I can ------- to you 
Love is ------- than just a ------- for -------
