Original

Ave verum Corpus composed by Josquin des Prez. 1440-1521. Edited by Ralph W. Buxton. For SAT. choir a cappella. Liturgical Use. Communion. Feasts of the Blessed Sacrament. Text. Latin. Choral. Vocal score. Text Language. Latin. Duration ca. 8 minutes. Published by Notre Dame Choir Editions. PE.NDC001. With Text Language. Latin. Choral. Josquin's celebrated 3 voice setting of the traditional Gregorian communion hymn. Liber Usualis, p. 1856. paraphrases the chant in the middle voice. Verses 1 & 3 of the hymn are duos that unfold as single long-breathed phrases. Verses 2 & 4 repeat the music of the first 2 verses with the addition of flowing counterpoint in the added 3rd voice making up delicate trio passages. The 5th verse provides a suitable culmination for all three voices as they join for the final supplication. O dulcis. O pie. O Jesu fili Virginis Mariae. The song-like intimacy of this setting and its quiet spritual intensity reflects Josquin's northern heritage while its bright scoring and clear-cut phrasing suggests the influence of the time he spent in Italy.
