HOLY WEEK SACRED MUSIC
Ave Verum Corpus (WILLIAM BYRD)
"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 sweet foretaste in the trial of death! O sweet Jesus, O holy Jesus, O Jesus, son of Mary, have mercy on me. Amen." -Pope Innocent VI

* Note: the original composition is 4-part harmony. We will be singing a 3-part arrangement where BASS + TENOR part have been combined into one Baritone part (taking passages from both)
