Program Notes

The fluid lines and stunning part-writing of Mozart's famous motet is beautifully captured in this setting for concert band. Carefully maintaining the melodic richness of the original, Kreines has scored this for woodwinds and brass only; no percussion parts are included.

- Program Note from publisher

Ave Verum Corpus (Hail, True Body) is a motet in D major (K. 618), composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It is a setting of the 14th century Eucharistic hymn in Latin "Ave verum corpus" in 1791. Mozart wrote it for Anton Stoll, a friend of Mozart and Joseph Haydn. Stoll was the musical coordinator in the parish of Baden bei Wien, near Vienna. This setting of the Ave verum corpus text was composed to celebrate the feast of Corpus Christi; the autograph is dated 17 June 1791. It is only forty-six bars long and is scored for SATB choir, string instruments, and organ. Mozart's manuscript contains minimal directions, with only a single sotto voce at the beginning.
