Mass on Ave Verum?

ldknutson

Does anyone know of a Mass on the tune of Ave Verum for Corpus Christi? For some reason I can only recall motets by Byrd and Josquin etc.

If not, another good Mass setting for Corpus Christi you would recommend for a small choir?

Thank you!

There's a Josquin Missa Pange Lingua: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlB1HR4BgUg

Bobby Bolin

Richard Proulx wrote a setting based on Adoro te Devote, called Corpus Christi Mass

Aristotle Esguerra

The Petite Messe «Ave Verum Corpus» by Amédeé Gastoué (1873–1943) is a three-voice (SABar) setting of all movements except the Credo. Other than the Gloria, its range requirements are pretty modest. Might be worth a look.

Richard Mix

For mixed voices Palestrina's Missa Lauda Sion) lies a little bit easier than Josquin, who otherwise is unexcelled.
