Ave Maria - Mary Hopkin (Spirit) OFFICIAL VIDEO

Features on Mary’s album ’Spirit’, available from The official video for Ave Maria. Sung by Mary, photographs by Mary, video by Mary. From Mary’s blog: “The only album track recorded separately was ’Ave Maria’, beautifully arranged and played by Alan Clark of Dire Straits. We’ve featured this on YouTube with a slideshow that I’ve just completed of some of my recent photographs. You’ll see scenes of our lovely St Peter’s in Pontardawe (the steeple’s internal wooden structure was built by my great-grandfather) and Margam Steelworks at Port Talbot. I’ve always loved these views and I’m intrigued and enchanted by the contrasts and similarities between the structures -- and the beauty in both.“ Photographs and slideshow copyright Mary Hopkin 2011 Read more about the making of ’Spirit’ at
