Poulenc Sacred Music
Collegium’s recording offers an extensive selection of Poulenc’s sacred choral music with the Gloria as centrepiece. Ave verum corpus was written in 1952.

Ave verum corpus Christi
Natum ex Maria Virgine,
Vere passum, immolatum
In cruce pro homine.
(Sequence hymn for the feast of Corpus Christi)

Hail, true body of Christ,
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Who truly suffered, sacrificed
On the cross for mankind.

John Rutter, English composer and conductor, is associated with choral music throughout the world. His recordings with the Cambridge Singers (the professional chamber choir he set up in 1981) have reached a wide global audience, many of them featuring his own music in definitive versions. Among John’s best-known choral works are Gloria, Requiem, Magnificat, Mass of the Children, and Visions, together with many church anthems, choral songs and Christmas carols.
