Two Three-Part Motets

- Colin Brumby

 


PDF Sample

Use: General, Communion
Required Resources: 3-part choir
Language: Latin

Composer Colin Brumby has set two very useful texts for TBB voices [seminaries and scholas, note!]. Ave verum corpus is a Eucharistic text, particularly appropriate during Lent and Holy Week. Stabat Mater is a Marian Lenten text, often sung during Stations of the Cross.

The writing is wonderful — the voice parts almost sing themselves. It is also very practical, with the range of each voice approximately within an octave:

Ave verum corpus
  • Tenor: G to G
  • Baritone: D to B
  • Bass: G to G
Stabat Mater
  • Tenor: D to Eb
  • Baritone: D to Bb
  • Bass: G to G

Ave verum sets the full text as a concise motet of 21 measures.

The six verses chosen from the 20 in the full Stabat Mater are:

1. Stabat Mater dolorosa…
2. Cujus animam…
4. Quae moerebat…
7. Pro peccatis…
8. Vidit suum…
20. Quando corpus…

These are set to the same music, completed by an 'Amen'.

These motets may be performed a cappella, although an optional organ accompaniment [slightly different than the voice parts] is provided. They can be sung by TBB or SSA voices.
