About Ave verum
This setting of the ancient Latin Eucharistic text Ave verum corpus by Luigi Bordèse beautifully captures the devotion and contemplation inherent in the words. The text meditates on the true body of Christ, born of the Virgin Mary, who suffered and was sacrificed on the cross for humankind. It reflects on the blood and water that flowed from his pierced side, and prays for this divine sustenance to be a foretaste of salvation in the hour of death. Composed for SA voices, Bordèse's motet offers a tender and accessible musical interpretation of this profound prayer, suitable for services or reflection.
