With a delicate expressive melody, rich harmony, and a flowing accompaniment, it offers an appealing alternative to more familiar settings. It is part of the composer's Passiontide work, Wondrous Cross. Forces or CategorySATB & organ/pianoDuration3 minutesDifficultyEasy

"His setting for mixed choir and keyboard of the well-known Latin hymn Ave Verum Corpus, so often a spur to morbid inwardness, is here warm yet true to the text's darker moments." - Matthew Greenall, Classical Music, November 2011 "Bullard, although at first following Elgar's precedent of a (very attractive) theme sung by sopranos and repeated by full choir, takes a Mozartian approach to the text: his writing is warmly gentle, notwithstanding its climax on 'mortis'. There is no final tail section of 'O clemens, O pie, O dulcis'." - James L. Montgomery, Sunday by Sunday, December 2012
