About Ave Verum
This sacred motet sets a deeply devotional Latin text, a meditation on the true body of Christ. The words speak of Jesus' birth from the Virgin Mary, his suffering and sacrifice upon the cross for humankind, and the blood and water that flowed from his pierced side. The text implores Jesus for mercy and asks that his body be a foretaste of salvation in the hour of death. Composed for SATB choir, Paolo Pandolfo's setting brings this profound Eucharistic reflection to life with thoughtful musical expression, suitable for services or concerts.
