Bass Choir Practice: "Ave Verum Corpus" by Camille Saint-Saëns (1835 --1921). Saint-Saëns' sacred compositions include a Mass, a Requiem Mass, settings of several psalms and liturgical texts, and this setting of the Ave Verum Corpus text (Opus 145), written in 1860. This text is often and fittingly used as a hymn of adoration before the eucharistic real presence. In fact, it recalls the whole mystery of our salvation wrought by Christ's death on a cross for us. It is attributed to the 14th century Pope Innocent VI.
English Translation:
Hail, true body,
born of the Virgin Mary:
Truly suffered,
died on the cross for mankind:
From who pierced side
flowed water and blood!
Be for us a foretaste
of death in the last hour!
