Ave Maria By Michał Lorenc

How time joins talents on earth together to create something heavenly is a mystery.  One such convergence is Michał Lorenc's composition of Ave Maria  and Olga Szyrowa's voice.   Michał Lorenc was born in Warsaw and is a Polish composer of music for movies. [1]  His version of Ave Maria, "performed by the Russian opera singer Olga Szyrowa [is available on You Tube [2]].  The soundtrack comes from the Polish movie Prowokator (1995).  Composer of all songs for the movie is Michał Lorenc." [3]  Prowokator  is on You Tube [4].  The song Ave Maria  can be heard faintly in the background at the beginning of the movie at approximately 1:16 and at the very end at approximately 1:24:41 when the closing credits begin to roll.  How the song Ave Maria  fits in the movie this blogger has no idea.  It would have been fitting had the song been a part of Franco Zeffirelli's Jesus of Nazareth (1977) [4] and Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ (2004).
