/ "The Shepherd on the Rock", D. 965

* Winterreise / Winter Journey 《冬之旅》- in winter, a traveller journeys out of town, dwelling on memories of an unfaithful lover
Background of 'Ave Maria':
In 1810, Sir Walter Scott publishedThe Lady of the Lake , an epic poem of 6 cantos, concerning the actions in 6 days, during a war between the lowland Scots and the highland clans.
'The Lady' was Ellen Douglas, and 'the Lake' was Loch Katrine in the Scottish Highlands.
In Canto Three, Ellen was praying to the Virgin, singing 'Ave Maria'. This poem was then loosely translated to German, based on which Schubert composed 7 songs.
The 6th song is the 'Ellen’s third song' or 'Hymn to the Virgin'. It was later adapted to use the full lyrics of the Latin Ave Maria. It has then become one of Schubert’s most popular works under the title Ave Maria, in arrangements with various lyrics.
