Mozart: Ave verum corpus for Cello Quartet

Immerse your audience in the sublime serenity of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's beloved Ave verum corpus, K. 618, now exquisitely arranged for cello quartet. This deeply moving and universally cherished motet, a timeless prayer of profound simplicity, finds a new depth of emotion and spiritual resonance in the warm, interwoven sonorities of four cellos.

 

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791), one of history's most celebrated composers, created "Ave verum corpus" as a miniature masterpiece of lyrical beauty and heartfelt devotion, originally for SATB choir, strings, and organ. Its profound simplicity, soaring melodic lines, and gentle harmonies have made it one of the most popular and enduring sacred works. This arrangement by Paul Wood meticulously transcribes the original musical lines for cello quartet, thoughtfully distributing the melodic content and rich harmonies across the four instruments. The result is an arrangement that perfectly captures the piece's contemplative spirit and lyrical flow, making it an ideal choice for church services, memorial events, contemplative concerts, or any occasion requiring a moment of profound beauty and spiritual reflection.
