SATB choir, a cappella

SKU: C5.5099

Composed by Chris Bord. Text: Saint Thomas Aquinas. Homophonic setting of a beloved Eucharistic text. Communion, Holy Thursday, Benediction. Octavo. Published by CanticaNOVA Publications (C5.5099).

This concise motet for a cappella SATB choir sets the last two verses of Saint Thomas Aquinas' great Eucharistic hymn Pange lingua gloriosi. The "Tantum ergo sacramentum..." and "Genitori Genitoque..." verses share the same homophonic modal music. The meticulous voice leading is crafted such that the lines are superbly singable -- and the ranges are well within the comfort limits of the average church choir. "Tantum ergo sacramentum" would make a beautiful communion piece on any Sunday, and might be particularly appropriate for Holy Thursday or Benediction.
