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 Fauré to Messiaen.

Niels W. Gade. Works Iv-9-Works for Mixed ChoirNiels W. Gade. Werks Volume IV/9 Niels Wilhelm Gade (1817?1890) Works Edited by the Foundation for the Publication of the Works of Niels W. Gade Copenhagen Niels W. Gade is one of the leading Danish composers of the nineteenth century. However only about half of his prolific ?uvre has appeared in print. Given this fact and the growing current interest in Gade there is an urgent need for a scholarly-critical Urtext edition of his music to meet the demands of both scholars and performers. This edition will contain all of Gade's completed compositions and separate movements as well as the arrangements he madeof his own works and those of other composers. In general the main text presents the ?definitive? version based on Gade's personal copy of the printed work. However all the remaining sources have also been consulted for purposes of comparison. Every editorial decision is mentioned and justified in the critical report (English). Gade's interest in choral music spanned his entire career. This volume presents more than 40 of his shorter works for mixed chorus both without and with accompaniment (piano organ harmonium or in one case brass ensemble). They occupy a no less prominent place in his oeuvre than his large-scale choral works with orchestra. Written between 1839 and 1885 they were intended for many different areas of application: songs for school chorus stand alongside liturgical music pièces d'occasion chorales and freely composed works for amateur choirs. The best-known are his Five Songs (op. 13) on poems by Emmanuel Geibel and Ludwig Tieck and the motet O du der du die Liebe bist both composed in Leipzig in 1846.
