thank you and commenters for the translation help esp. regarding ‘unda’. I like knowing what I’m singing about and was bothered that so many people said Mozart’s version didn’t make sense.

Many thanks for making available the sheet music of Ave Verum of Mozart, but yours has mistakes. In the Soprano part first it does not start in F but in A!!! And there are other mistakes….
Better to correct them if you want to make it available to all of us…!!
Many thanks

Response:
Thank you so much for letting us know about that. If anyone has specific notes on other mistakes in the score please let us know. I won’t be making changes to the score because of time restraints but appreciate the info.

Dear Conrad, Thank you so much for the free download of the choral version of Ave Verum Corpus. This gives me the opportunity to sing an alto part whenever I hear it. Our choir sings it frequently during Communion and as a Eucharistic minister, I hear the music and tears well in my eyes as this precious prayer is offered to God. Sometimes I barely remain composed as the True Presence I am sharing with the congregation is met in worship with this piece. It is also my ringtone on my phone, so I get to hear it every day.
God bless you.

I received this email and wanted to pass on the info to you:

Dear Conrad,
I saw now a message you posted in 2007! saying that the word water was
ommited from Morzart’s Ave Verum, instead is used ‘unda’ but unda is not
whence, whence is ‘unde’. ‘Unda’ is liquid or water!!!!
Sorry for so late correcting you. I am sure that by now you discover this
already!!!!
Many thanks for all the information
Gloria

For years I have been trying to find an English Carol which was set to Mozart’s Ave Verum. I remember only few words which makes it almost impossible for me to search for it. However, the few words I do remember are:

. . . in a manger, we adore thee, all hail . . .

Would appreciate any feedback. Grateful Thanks.

Thank you so much for providing this. I love this music, I used to sing this in a previous choir, but I have separated from them a couple of years ago. Now, my interest is reinvigorated and a prospective choir that I’m thinking of joining has this on their repertoire. I can’t wait to do this again, if I hopefully make it there.

Do you think you could find a sheet music download (for free) for a violin and violincello of this piece?

It would be awesome, as I have yet to find anything on my ensemble list of pieces.

I’m sure my duet partner would love this one as well! Thanks!

It is a different Ave Verum Corpus – not the one by Mozart.
