Ave Verum Text Innocent VI Music David Terry
Ave Verum Corpus translates as
Hail, true body born of the Virgin Mary;
truely suffering and sacrificed on the cros for mankind.
You, whose pierced side yielded true blood,
be our food in the trials of death.
These words attributed to Innocent VI have been used by many composers. In St Mary's we have sung versions by Mozart, Elgar, Gounod and Byrd. David Terry is the latest to our repertoire.
David Terry studied Music at Lincoln College, Oxford and organ with the late David Sanger. He is an experienced choral conductor with both professional and amateur groups and has conducted much of the larger choral repertoire with orchestra. He is Director of Music at one of London's top state schools where he leads one of the largest music departments in the capital. In addition, David is very active as a composer and arranger and is published by Novello. Taken from Linkedin.
