またカウボイビバップ

Okay, so just in case you're gonna get any funny ideas, every song I'm gonna post from Cowboy Bebop will have been written by Yoko Kanno, as stated before.  So far, you have heard some jazz, and some blues rock. Now how about some classical?  If you are at all familiar with classical music in general, you are probably familiar with the song "Ave Maria."  If you are more familiar, you are probably aware that there are quite a few versions of the song, some using the same lyrics, some changing it up.  Some people just altered the melody or combined some other songs.  Arguably the two most famous versions, and very beautiful too, are from Schubert and Gounod.  (Gounod took a more standard melody/lyric set and added it to Bach's Prelude No. 1 in C major.)  Anyways, I would like to submit Yoko Kanno's completely original Ave Maria composition as another of one of the most beautiful.
