Ave Maria //
Dear Friends, Students & Well Wishers,
Today, on Mother's Day, I dedicate this release, to Mary, the Mother of Jesus.
I've always felt a strong bond with the Holy Mother.
Whilst at school, Fatima Convent, South Goa, there were many occasions where I found myself in its little chapel, in prayerful solitude just gazing into "her' eyes...
In these quiet moments, I found strength and serenity, which have been steadfast with me until this day
Divine guidance brought the release of this cover in May, a month dedicated to Mother Mary.
It's release this Mother's Day, honours Mother Mary, who for many is an epitome of simplicity, grit and deep spirituality.
This cover is a confluence - of a beautiful EDM track by an unknown artist with Schubert's, Ave Maria - intended to render a modern vibe to the erstwhile track while retaining the depth of its essence.
Warmest wishes to all Mother's everywhere - may you always comfort and inspire those in your care!
Do tag your mother and dedicate this timeless piece to her.
I request you to share it also with music lovers you know....
To me, your thoughts & feedback are always welcome....
Warmly,
Carla Dsouza

Love! to me, is the most beautiful friendship between souls.
