2 Tantum Ergo

Franz Schöpf's setting of Tantum Ergo is a sacred choral work for SATB voices. The Latin text is a traditional eucharistic hymn, traditionally sung during Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. It extols the sacrament of the altar, contrasting the old covenant with the new, and praises God the Father and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Schöpf's composition offers a devotional musical setting for this significant liturgical text, suitable for services where reverence and solemnity are paramount. The four-part harmony provides a rich texture for the solemn and reverent Latin text.
