Tradition and innovation combine in his new a cappella setting on the iconic text made famous by Mozart and Byrd. Beginning with a plainchant, the work gently unfolds to reveal beautiful harmonies and expressive vocal lines.

With a stunning recording by Tenebrae Choir, conducted by Nigel Short, this will take your breath away.

Ave verum corpus, natum
de Maria Virgine,
vere passum, immolatum
in cruce pro homine
cuius latus perforatum
fluxit aqua et sanguine:
esto nobis praegustatum
in mortis examine.

O Iesu dulcis, O Iesu pie,
O Iesu, fili Mariae.
Miserere mei. Amen

Hail, true Body, born
of the Virgin Mary,
having truly suffered, sacrificed
on the cross for mankind,
from whose pierced side
water and blood flowed:
Be for us a foretaste [of the Heavenly banquet]
at the hour of death!

O sweet Jesus, O holy Jesus,
O Jesus, son of Mary,
have mercy on me. Amen.
