Is it a purity ring or would we be getting married..?

*quality use of Ave Maria

Gwiz, are you suggesting that I have friends?

I always feel bad about asking people to use their power points for little old me.

Excellent sift. It's too bad that stuff like this needs so much begging to get through.

Pro-tip, ask a friend you suspect will love it to quality it instead, that will make it fly out.

Ave Maria is simply one of the most beautiful compositions ever written.

Thanks for posting this pinky! We need more culture around the place of kicked-in-the-balls vids!

Anyone got an Ave Maria playlist? I think that would be quite interesting. Nice submission again jb.

But at least it's got an awesome soundtrack. Ave Maria - the mothership launch theme... And incredible framing, lens flares and colour shifting.

much thanks!

i have to preface this by saying i had to skip one song that was "unknown artist," and called a default "track 5". that being said, nearly all of these worked out amazingly well. except caribou. that part is definitely false...

Good, but ya gotta add Ave Maria to the tagz. kthxbai

YT -> "MAKS 2003
Music: Chet Atkins
Mix by Bluezzzzzz "(<- poster).
I'm sorry, did I not just hear Ave Maria? And a video with WARPLANES?

Ah, the Russians.

I remember this was the first time I ever heard Adagio for Strings (choral) by Samuel Barber. I like the aural interaction between the beautiful haunting music and the sounds of the engines and such. I think the trailer for the game used the music as well, but with a battle going on.

The same mix of classical music can be found in the newest Hitman (Blood Money), where Ave Maria is used to great effect, and in the trailer for Dawn of War, also be Relic, who made Homeworld.

Her voice fails to touch me for some reason. My personal favourite of Ave Maria is Schuberts Ave Maria sung by Andrea Bocelli, which I just HAD to post here http://www.videosift.com/video/Schuberts-Ave-Maria-sung-by-Andrea-Bocelli , has moved me to tears more than once.

"Ave Maria" is a popular Christmas tune. I know, because when I was a kid my mom stacked the Christmas vinyl on the record player and two versions of this song were on those records. It's a beautiful piece of music. Though I'm an atheist now, when I hear this song I still get a wistful feeling for a time in my life when Santa was real and the whole holiday season seemed magical.

Yes he did a wonderful version of Ave Maria, however I prefer hearing Sarah Brightman sing it.
