Beautiful Choral Piece Needed for Corpus Christi

deo27

Hello all:

I am looking for a nice SAB choral piece for Corpus Christi. I'm hopeful that someone has a suggestion that is in the baritone range for the men. Thanks for any help you can provide.

There's a SAB Ave Verum Corpus by Carlo Rossini in his "50 Motets for the Liturgical Year." I have made a Finale file of it if you'd be interested.

That sounds great. Thanks!

I have a Jesu Dulcis Memoria, one verse only, for SAB. The 5-verse version is SATB.

Casciolini. Panis Angelicus. Can easily be done SAB.

One way to do this is to take an SATB piece and have an instrument play the tenor part.

Organ, Bassoon, sensitive Cello, Viola - even a violin if it does not go below G.

This is the traditional approach - on Youtube someplace there is a double choir piece by Gabrieli with the second choir played by brass except for an Alto.

CGM

Peter Kwasniewski released a slew of SAB pieces a couple years back. Attached are his editions of
- Gustate et videte, Asola
- O sacrum convivium, Remondi

@Sacred... we did this with Biebl's Ave Maria. I had a string trio play the upper part and it worked well. I never thought to fill in the tenor with an instrument. Good idea.

While 'Gustate et videte' may be jumping the gun by a few weeks, it's not inappropriate for Corpus Christi, I suppose. Here is an SAB setting that I composed a few years ago that might work well. It's a 3-part canon, with verses in harmonized Mode III chant (could be optional, if sung as a motet), the final repeat of the antiphon is somewhat altered from the strict canon at the final cadence. Enjoy!!

This is only SB, but would be very easy to learn

A CPDL multi category search for 3vv & Eucharistic songs gets 64 hits (Corpus Christi only 10). I've used the Buxtehude Lauda Sion myself, though it is more SSB; Charpentier's Ave verum is right in the SAbar sweet spot.

Ave Verum Corpus by Mozart was written,for the feast and incorporates one of the proper texts.

Holy Moly, CGM, that Sacrum Convivium looks like an SAT piece.

I'm not sure how relevant this is to those of you in the USA, but the UK Catholic publisher Kevin Mayhew has produced several volumes of church music for SAMen, including Anthems Old and New for SAMen (2 volumes), Short Anthems for SAMen, and some Christmas material.
We have the first of these and have found it useful.

Here's the Rossini arrangement of Perosi's Ave Verum Corpus

Here is my SABar arrangement of the Mozart Ave verum corpus. It's also downloadable from CPDL.
