Ave verum corpus es un breve himno eucarístico que data del siglo XIV. En la Edad Media se cantaba durante la elevación de la Hostia en la consagración//Ave verum corpus is a short Eucharistic hymn dating from the 14th century. It is a meditation on the Catholic belief in Jesus's Real Presence in the sacrament of the Eucharist.

Ave verum corpus natum
de Maria Virgine,
vere passum, immolatum
in cruce pro homine,
cuius latus perforatum
unda fluxit et sanguine,
esto nobis praegustatum
in mortis examine.

Salve, Cuerpo verdadero, nacido
de la Virgen María,
verdaderamente atormentado, sacrificado
en la cruz por la humanidad,
en cuyo lado perforado
fluyó agua y sangre;
esto es un anticipo
de la prueba que será para nosotros la muerte.

Hail the true body,
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Truly suffered, sacrificed
On the Cross for mankind,
Whose pierced side
Flowed with water and blood,
Let it be for us, in consideration,
A foretaste of death.

La versión del Ave verum corpus de Mozart fue escrita para Anton Stoll, quien era coordinador de la parroquia de Baden, cerca de Viena. Fue compuesto para celebrar el Corpus Christie y está fechado 17-06-1791. Son 46 compases para coro, cuerdas y órgano. El manuscrito no tiene anotaciones, solo un sotto voce al principio. Mozart lo compuso mientras escribía La flauta mágica, cuando visitaba a su esposa Constanza, que estaba embarazada de su sexto hijo; en un spa de Baden, unos seis meses antes de su muerte.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's setting of Ave verum corpus (K. 618) was written for Anton Stoll (a friend of his and Haydn's) who was musical co-ordinator in the parish of Baden, near Vienna. It was composed to celebrate the feast of Corpus Christi and the autograph is dated 17 June 1791. It is only forty-six bars long and is scored for choir, stringed instruments, and organ. Mozart's manuscript itself contains minimal directions, with only a single sotto voce at the beginning. Mozart composed this motet while in the middle of writing his opera Die Zauberflöte, and while visiting his wife Constanze, who was pregnant with their sixth child and staying in a spa near Baden. It was less than six months before Mozart's death.

When I'm drunk, I watch these videos with the scores and try to sing along...and surprisingly I'm a lot better at them trashed then I am sober. Should've drank beer before I went to Ear Training I guess.
