Lodovico Grossi da Viadana (c.1560 1627) was an Italian composer teacher and Franciscan Friar. He is known for the important contribution he made to the development of Baroque music being one of the first people touse figured bass as a means of notating a basso continuo line. From 1594 onwards he was choirmaster at various Italian cathedrals when his O Sacrum Convivium was most probably written. It is an arrangement of theancient Christian prayer for TTBB Male Voice Chorus and is a perfect anthem for any Eucharist service.

Pamela Weston's The Clarinettist's Companion is the ideal instrumental reference.

O Sacrum Convivium was probably composed in the 1560's but like several other motets composed by Tallis in his 1575 collection it was later substantially revised. This music was originally conceived as an instrumental fantasia; subsequently during the course of its extensive musical remoulding it was adapted to a variety of English texts as well as to the present Latin words. The version published in 1575 from which this edition is taken may be regarded as Tallis' final definitive statement on the work. For SAATB a cappella.
