“Ava Maria” is a very popular song. It has been covered for generations. Most know this to be a song sung on Christmas, or sung at the church. But there is another song called “Ava Maria” which the difference is very apparent. Both these song are considered to be discourse. Keith Grant-Davie describes discourses as an activity an event, or a situation shaped by language or communication. These discourse are written by rhetors. The rhetors that wrote the two version of Ava Maria I am focusing on are Beyonce Knowles and her rhetorical team and Celine Dion. Both songs have different constraints, audience, exigence and meaning but yet they are the same song. Ava Maria is a very popular catholic church song. It was a prayer to mother Mary put to music. The Prayer was called Hail Mary. When Celine Dion covered the song she kept the same meaning as the original. Celine was a roman catholic, she was born into a big catholic family with 14 kids. This I believe is the reason she choose to cover the song. The song Ava Maria would be very meaningful to Celine Dion because the Roman Catholic church hold Mother Mary very high. They came to call her Mother of god. The meaning of this song is very simple. It a prayer to Mother Mary,who is the mother of Jesus.

The exigence is not that simple thought. Keith Grant-Davie describes exigence as a problem or need that can be addressed by communication. The exigence of this song is just to spreed the word abut Mother Mary and show how important she is to the Roman Catholic religion.
The rhetor Celine Dion was a Roman catholic. It is said that through her whole carrier she stayed true to her religion. I feel she sung this song to let her audience know she was still very faithful to the church. Dion 's type of music was pop and soul conventions, she got a lot of criticism from this. This is why I believe she choose to do a religious
