Description:
Composed for Wheaton College, Morten Lauridsen’s Ave Verum Corpus is written for choir and string orchestra (or organ) with finger cymbals. The traditional Latin text is expressed with intricate melodic lines supported by lush harmonies. The atmospheric, newly composed antiphon that begins and ends the 10-minute piece should be performed like a traditional Gregorian chant. This stirring, uplifting piece would be a popular addition to any concert programme.
