About Ave verum 2020
This short setting of the ancient Latin text Ave verum corpus would be suitable for services during Lent or Holy Week, or for a Requiem Mass. The text meditates on the true body of Christ, born of the Virgin Mary, who suffered and was sacrificed on the cross. It speaks of the water and blood that flowed from his pierced side and asks Jesus to be a foretaste of salvation in death's examination. The SAA voicing allows for a clear, direct presentation of this profound devotional text. Mariano Garau's composition offers a contemporary musical response to a timeless prayer.
