About Ave Verum Corpus by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Ave verum corpus (Hail, true body), (K. 618), is a motet in D major composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1791. It is a setting of the Latin hymn Ave verum corpus.

Mozart wrote it for Anton Stoll, a friend who was the church musician of St. Stephan in Baden bei Wien. The motet was composed for the feast of Corpus Christ.

Originally it’s composed for choir, string ensemble and organ.

Text of Ave Verum Corpus by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

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.
O Iesu dulcis, O Iesu pie, O Iesu, fili Mariae!

    I find helpful the synergy effect of the sheet music and video with explanations on bow distributions. Also, I regard it as a “safe” base for possible experiments with alternative fingerings.

    Thank you Vlata.
    I am 68 and have played my violin on and off since I was 14 yrs old.
    I enjoy playing once a year with the BSO (Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra) as a Rusty Musician!
    I loved playing the Mozart you so kindly sent, and am getting to grips with the bowing. The bowing and the phrasing seem most important to me in this piece, and I am working on this!

    I have been attempting your beginning book. I’m just slow but your lessons are super. I still have not been able to download the accompaniment for warm up practice nor the prayer in Lesson 14

    An excellent tutorial of a beautiful piece of music.
    As an existing online student of Zlata’s Bow Like a Pro course I found the finger patterns helpful as well as the use of bow distribution. Thoroughly recommended from Vermont, America
