Beschreibung
Composed by Pierre Villette, Ave Verum, Op. 3 is a Eucharistic hymn for SATB
choral a cappella. Dedicated to the Chapel Master at Rouen Cathedral, Sir
Canon Delestre, this piece is highly lyrical and melodious. Written inLatin,
its tempo is quite slow (52) and it includes numerous harmonies as well as
some short exchanges between the voices. The polytonal aspects are probably
the most difficult part of the singing and the actual title means Hail,True
Body, the main lyrics glorify Jesus. Another music setting of this hymn was
composed by Mozart. Pierre Villette (1926-1998) was a French composer of
choral and instrumental music. Strongly influenced by Catholicism, hismusical
heritage ran from Fauré to Messiaen.
