About Ave verum corpus

Words: a medieval (13th-century) Eucharistic hymn

Tune: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, K. 618 (1791)

Ave verum corpus is a short motet Mozart wrote in 1791, the last year of his life, catalogued as K. 618, setting a medieval Latin hymn. He marked it Adagio and sotto voce, "under the voice": slow, and soft all the way through, without one loud note. Our arrangement is read from the 1880 Breitkopf & Härtel edition of Mozart's works, in D as he wrote it, with his own four voice parts and the Latin words. The strings' introduction and ending are left out, and their short interlude becomes a bar's rest. This is for 4 singers only, as the chords need all four of Mozart's voices.
