This stirring setting of O Salutaris Hostia for a cappella TTB or SSA choir uses skillful part-writing and well-prepared dissonances to enhance the word painting of the traditional Latin text. Occasional chromatic harmonies, and brief touches on the lower vocal range for baritones or altos make this piece accessible to a men's or women's choir of medium skill level.
CHORAL SERIES: Trinitas
VOICING: TTB, SSA, and a cappella
DIFFICULTY: Medium
LITURGICAL NOTES: This is well-suited for Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and Exposition of the Holy Eucharist (including Benediction).
