After the Willow Song, Desdemona sings an Italian setting of this text before being killed by her husband in Verdi's Otello. The popular setting of this text attributed to Giulio Caccini is widely understood to be a hoax by the Russian composer Vavilov. Gounod's version of this text superimposed it with an additional melody over a prelude from Bach's Well Tempered Clavier. One famous version substitutes this Latin text in full for the original setting ofWalter Scott's "Lady of the Lake": that version is properly named "Ellen's Dritter Gesang" and is by Franz Schubert. For 10 points, name this Latin hymn that blesses the Virgin and exhorts her to pray for us sinners.
