song question


what's the classical (opera?) song they play several times throughout the movie? i think it's a well-known one... it has singing, i'm not sure if that makes it an opera... i know the song cause they have a sample of it at the beginning of "i, zombie" by white zombie... thanks...

thanks! i felt kinda stupid when you said it was "ave maria", cause i've heard of that, but apparently there are several "ave maria"s (i was just looking it up)... there seem to be two main ones - the gounod one and the schubert one, though i guess that's just a nickname for the schubert one, it's really called "Ellens dritter Gesang"... i think the schubert one is the one i'd heard of... it seems to be the more popular one but i think i like the gounod one better... the bach piece gounod wrote over is pretty good by itself - "Prelude No.1 in C Major"...
