Joyce has in her baggage an extensive discography and about 400 recordings of her songs by some of the biggest names in Brazilian popular music, such as Gal Costa, Maria Bethânia, Elis Regina, Milton Nascimento, Ney Matogrosso, Edu Lobo, Emílio Santiago, Boca Livre, Mônica Salmaso, Leny Andrade, Nana Caymmi, Zizi Possi, Elizeth Cardoso, Simone and many others. Internationally, she has been recorded by big names like Annie Lennox, Wallace Roney, Omara Portuondo, Black Eyed Peas, David Sanchez, Jon Lucien, Claus Ogerman, Gerry Mulligan, Till Brönner, Flora Purim and others. Her compositions have been used in soundtracks for films (such as Robert Altman's "The Player" and "Legally Blonde"), animations (she participated in the soundtrack of the Japanese anime "Wolf's Rain" in partnership with Japanese composer Yoko Kanno), TV shows and theater performances.
She received 4 Latin Grammy nominations and has so far 34 individual CDs and 2 DVDs, besides compilations and participations. Currently, her work also follows an international path, with world tours every year and recordings of new albums in different countries, without ever losing her Brazilian-feminine identity.

The lyrics to Joyce's song Ave Maria are a Latin prayer to the Virgin Mary, asking for her intercession and blessing. The prayer begins with the words "Ave Maria," which mean "Hail, Mary." The following line, "Gratia plena," means "full of grace." This is a reference to the biblical account of the Annunciation, when the angel Gabriel greets Mary and declares that she has been chosen by God. The next line, "Dominus tecum," means "the Lord is with you." This is also a reference to the Annunciation, when the angel Gabriel assures Mary that she has been chosen by God and that He is with her. The phrase is repeated twice for emphasis.
The prayer then goes on to ask for Mary's intercession, calling her "Benedicta tu in mulieribus" (blessed among women). It also acknowledges the role of her son, Jesus, calling Him "Benedictus frutus ventris tuis Jesu Jesu" (blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus). The prayer concludes with a plea for Mary to pray for us sinners, both now and at the hour of our death.

I have the original vinyl album of Joyce's. Found it at a yard sale or used record store back in the 1990's. Fantastic album! One of my favorite songs by her.
