Par VILLETTE PIERRE. Composed by Pierre Villette, Ave Verum, Op. 3 is a Eucharistic hymn for SATB choral a cappella. Dedicated to the Chapel Master at Rouen Cathedral, Sir Canon Delestre, this piece is highly lyrical and melodious. Written in Latin, its tempo is quite slow (52) and it includes numerous harmonies as well as some short exchanges between the voices. The polytonal aspects are probably the most difficult part of the singing and the actual title means 'Hail, True Body', the main lyrics glorify Jesus. Another music setting of this hymn was composed by Mozart. Pierre Villette (1926-1998) was a French composer ofchoral and instrumental music. Strongly influenced by Catholicism, his musical heritage ran from Faure to Messiaen. / Musique religieuse / Répertoire / Choeur Mixte a Cappella

Par HERZOGENBERG HEINRICH VON. The four Sacred songs op. 89 for high voice, violin and organ were composed in 1895, when Heinrich von Herzogenberg was Professor of Composition at the Berlin Conservatory. They are dedicated to Anna Schulze, who was a colleague of Herzogenberg at the Conservatory which was headed by Joseph Joachim. Perhaps Herzogenberg’s choice of instruments for these songs was guided by his personal connection with both of his colleagues. In the religious sphere he achieved a unique transformation of the art song, represented not only by the organ accompaniment but also by the older, symbolic connotation of the violin as an angel’s instrument./ Répertoire / Choeur Mixte a Cappella
