O Sacrum Convivium

for mixed choir a cappella

A lovely setting of the well-known communion prayer by Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274), this version has the choir sing both the original Latin and later in English translation. This anthem is indicative of my compositional style, including rapidly shifting harmonic centers. However, it is very approachable for both the singers and listeners, employing simple four-part harmonies throughout. Intended to be sung a cappella, the score includes a piano reduction.
