A made this version of Ave Maria when my mother died. She had heard me work on it and wanted me to play it in her funeral, which I did after a nigh's work to finish it. Audun Reithaug plays the upright bass, Amund Bjønness the guitar, and I do the violin and keyboards. It's based on Schubert's Ave Maria but with my own melody in the first verse.
