I thank you for your kind words. My father would be very happy to hear your words of praise. I can tell you he was a devoted musician superb concert guitarist and a great man and father.

[@xaviercharles6069]

Hello son ! That's great we have the son of William here. I am composer too, and I really enjoy this Ave Maria. That can be sung by a fantastic voice with Ellina Garança, or any student. This Ave Maria is very simple and speaks to many people. It is a great masterpiece, simple, short and so beautiful. I think this is a great score for all. Thanks to William.

[@xaviercharles6069]

Did William heard it with a soprano when he was alive? Tell us more on him and his works please.

Tu padre escribio lo que es para mi el mas bellos de la plegaria a la Virgen, que gran lastima que no pudo escuchar a esta grabacion,

[@italopera6036]

My respect to your father, sir !

[@Ekene74]

Huge respect to your Father. I can't even begin to express how I feel. My wife is a Mezzo soprano studying at the Music Hochschule in Hannover Germany and today being the 19th of January 2021 she introduced this piece at her class Podium hour. This piece is special. I'm happy to have had the opportunity and privilege of having a loved one perform this lovely piece of music.

Bellísima versión del Ave María de William Gómez en la inigualable voz de Elina . Única 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋

[@iolitealley1]

I think this is the most beautiful ave I have ever heard

[@ThyArchAngel11]

Composed by a fellow person from Gibraltar. Sadly William passed away from cancer in the late 90s. Many of my friends of the older generations performed and wrote music with him, just glad to have met such wonderful people

[@tonyprice1786]

Indeed, one of those occasions when the skin prickles, the eyes water and words seem totally inadequate.

[@enriqueali]

It is indeed very lovely. Listen also to the one composed by Polish composer Michal Lorenc

Ein wunderschönes wenn nicht sogar das schönste Ave Maria von William Gomez! Durch Zufall habe ich es gehört und sofort zu meinem ! gemacht … Elina Garanca‘ ist eine so tolle Sängerin!! Danke für dieses Erlebnis!! Thea 💐💐 Sopran und Pianistin aus ❤️‍🔥 Leidenschaft

[@AB-rb2hk]

Una voce come questa, piena di arte e perfezione tecnica da un lato, di cuore e di sensibilità dall’altro, esalta il timbro di Mezzosoprano, e lo fa preferire a quello di un Soprano.

[@Rozie7748]

[@albertopv]

Adoro questa grande artista!! ❤

[@MrSunflowersongs]

sublime!!!

[@byzintek]

This, along with the Ave Maria by the Polish composer Michal Lorenc, have become two of my signature pieces for songs of worship. And this performance by Ms. Garanca of the profoundly sincere and emotional piece by William Gomez, remains my all-time favorite performance by any soloist of any song at any venue and occasion. If I died at the moment of hearing this piece, I would indeed, be in heaven. Thank you William for your blessing several years ago to add this into my repertoire of gratis performance for churches and charities. I am planning a charitable tour to Europe next year (pandemic allowing) and hope to make it to Gibraltar. May your father's presence be felt in every beautiful and wholesome thing you do, William.

Mi hermano que es músico profesional le quiso hacer cantada la misa funeral a mi madre y una de las canciones que interpretó fue este Ave Maria. Sonó maravilloso y fue muy emotivo. Tenía mis dudas sobre una misa funeral donde cantaran pero le agradeceré siempre a mi hermano este último adiós a mi madre. Se lo merecía al igual q todas las madres

Ave, Ave Maria, llena, llena eres de gracia
Bendita eres tú entre todas las mujeres
Y bendito es el fruto de tu vientre Jesús
Santa, Santa Maria, Santa Maria, madre de Dios
Ruega por nosotros pecadores, ahora y en la hora
De nuestra muerte, amén
Y bendito es el fruto de tu vientre Jesús
Santa, Santa Maria, Santa Maria, madre de Dios
Ruega por nosotros pecadores, ahora y en la hora
De nuestra muerte, amén
Aaaah, amén
Hail, Hail Mary
Full, full of grace
Blessed are you among all women
And blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus
Hail, Hail Mary
Full, full of grace
Blessed are you among all women
And blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus
Holy, holy Mary,
Santa Maria
Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners,
Now and at the hour of our death, amen
And blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus
