Composed by Dorian Lopes. Christian,Contemporary,Easter,Sacred. Octavo. 2 pages. Dorian Lopes #5033881. Published by Dorian Lopes (A0.927239).This is an original setting of the 14th Century Eucharistic Latin chant text attributed to Pope Innocent VI. It is most appropriate for church choirs to sing during communion service, especially during Lent. It is also appropriate for concert performance by choruses/choirs of students, amateur adults or professionals. Here is an English translation of the text: "Hail, true body, born of the Virgin Mary, having truly suffered, sacrificed on the cross for mankind, from whose pierced side flowed water and blood, be for us a foretaste (of heaven) in the test of death. O sweet Jesus, O holy Jesus, O Jesus, son of Mary, have mercy on us. Amen." There are many settings of this text by well-known composers including W.A. Mozart and William Byrd. This setting, like that of Byrd, is for unaccompanied voices, but is written in the homophonic texture and uses a few more modern harmonies. Performance time is approximately 2:24.
