Guildford Cathedral Choir, directed by Barry Rose:
Vespers in Arundel Roman Catholic Cathedral, 25 July 1973:
(From a Live BBC broadcast of Choral Vespers for the Feast of St James sung by the choir in the Cathedral of Our Lady and St Philip, Arundel. Officially Elgar’s Op. 2, No. 1, this piece was written in 1887, while Elgar was organist at St George's Church in Worcester, as a setting of the “Pie Jesu” in memory of William Allen, the Worcester attorney for whom Elgar worked as a fifteen-year old. Elgar revised and orchestrated it for publication as “Ave verum corpus” in 1902)
Ave, verum corpus natum ex Maria Virgine,
Vere passum, immolatum in cruce pro homine,
Cuius latus perforatum vero fluxit sanguine,
Esto nobis praegustatum, mortis in examine.
O clemens, O pie, O dulcis Jesu, fili Mariae.
[ Hail, true Body, born of the Virgin Mary,
Having truly suffered, sacrificed on the cross for mankind,
From whose pierced side water and blood flowed:
Be for us a foretaste in the trial of death!
O merciful, O holy, O sweet Jesu, son of Mary! ]
