Grounded in the tradition of chant, but with a decidedly modern choral sensibility, this hymn is scored for SATB choir, descant, and optional soloist(s) accompanied by keyboard and solo instrument in C. The six verses each begin with a chanted portion of AVE VERUM CORPUS followed by a metered turnaround with an optional wordless choral ornament.
CHORAL SERIES: Trinitas
INSTRUMENTATION: Keyboard and Solo Instrument in C

LITURGICAL NOTES: This Eucharistic hymn's memorable refrain reflects the dignity and grace of the liturgical moment yet remains accessible and easily learned by the assembly, making it ideal for longer Communion processionals.
