Ave Maria
Deanna Durbin and the Vienna Boys Choir (Wiener Sängerknaben) perform the Bach – Gounod setting of Ave Maria and that is what is heard here. This performance was filmed in the fall of 1937 for the movie “Made About Music” when Durbin was 15 years old. The boys choir you see, whose voices was not used in this recording, is the St. Luke’s Choristers from Long Beach, CA. This recording of Ave Maria is wonderfully sung yet does not let us hear the true beauty of her voice that was a precious gift from God.

Aeterne rerum conditor
This hymn (minus the final doxology) was written by St. Ambrose (340-397). The hymn is filled with Scriptural allusions and is one of the finest hymns in the Liturgy. Formerly it was used in the Roman Breviary at Sunday Lauds after Epiphany until Lent, and then again from September 28 until November 26. Today the hymn is used in the Modern Liturgy of the Hours (less verses five and six) for Sunday Lauds on the first and third Sundays of the Psalter during Ordinary Time.
