William Byrd - Ave verum corpus - The Sixteen

Sounds like Voces8 is singing this.

The god is coming!

I have a vision that someday I will build a chapel with a monastery attached and a group of us, as monks in residence, will sing all the great sacred traditional classical music of the church, interspursed with matching readings from the bible. No sermons, clergy or anything else. Just open doors, great sacred music, the bible, candles, incense, beautiful stained glass and anyone welcomed to come in, silently pray and experience love.

Ave verum corpus, natum
de Maria Virgine,[a]
vere passum, immolatum
in cruce pro homine
cuius latus perforatum
fluxit aqua et sanguine:[b]
esto nobis praegustatum
in mortis examine.[c]

O Iesu dulcis, O Iesu pie,
O Iesu, fili Mariae.
Miserere mei. Amen.[d]

 
Hail, true Body, born
of the Virgin Mary,
having truly suffered, sacrificed
on the cross for mankind,
from whose pierced side
water and blood flowed:
Be for us a foretaste [of the Heavenly banquet]
in the trial of death!

O sweet Jesus, O holy Jesus,
O Jesus, son of Mary,
have mercy on me. Amen.

Thanks for the sheet music i can now sing along

I love Byrds music !

This is so far my favotite piece from the 16th Century, i am listening all the major composers one by one.

that hand hanging from the top at the last second creeped me out as hell

WE'RE GONNA SING THIS IN OUR CHOIR ＹＥＳＳＳＳＳＳＳ

One of England's finest. Bless him <3

I fell in love with Byrd's Ave Verum Corpus the first time I heard it which was in the mid '90's, when our choir sang it for our parish celebration of Corpus Christi at the Diocesan Eucharistic Shrine in Raritan, NJ., and still remember the bass part. I still sing along with it when I hear other choirs sing it as a meditation hymn after Communion. Since I had a strong double bass voice I always dropped the final G an octave which gives the last chord greater depth and richness. I think it is the most beautiful ever written. Sorry, Mozart.

Sang this on 2017/07/10. My parents watched our performance and they did not go to sleep fortunately 🤣

God bless the Sixteen. Praise Jesus and Mary always!!!

Wonderful, but a shame about the traffic noise.

Out of this world.

Ao ouvir, fui aos céus e voltei.

Magnificent 💜

How beautiful x im sitting here listening to classic fm x and they've just played this xxxx

Beautiful music. All very polyphonic, but not many good tunes.

Well that was beautiful.

This piece of music 🎼 🎵 🎶 is divine. It was written by God about God.

A song (and a performance) worth crying for.

Love William Byrd's music!

Musica incantevole che non può morire. ✨

Beautiful. The sixteen are a great team. Thanks for posting

Even on my Android phone it transported me.

Written in the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1 of England. It was our Communion Motet last Sunday for our Eucharist at Bradford Cathedral

Beautiful.

Bendita sea la Madre de Dios!

Excellent sound, for me.

So glad I found Margotlorena2! I'll be 80 this year and have loved choral music all my life. No longer able to sing, I can still enjoy a measure of participation by seeing the scores of the music. This way I can continue my music by reading along with the singers, even if it's only in my head. God bless you!

Thank you!

Absolutely beautiful!

Sexooooo

Absolutely stunning. I loved following the score as I listened.

LINDA MUSICA

Is it me, or are the bases getting the rhythm wrong on 'miserere' ?

Stop followed by the altos! Your ruthem is different.

Hi,
These are awesome videos thank you, are you able to create one for “King of glory, king of peace” by Bach please? It’s an amazing anthem if you haven’t heard it before.
Thank you 😊
