Hoc est enim corpus meum
David W Solomons
This lovely Communion poem by Audrey Vaughan inspired me to write this meditative motet.
I have sung it here in men’s voices pitch (ATTB)
The score (at a higher pitch for SATB choir) is available here
Hoc est enim corpus meum
The world`s eternity lies here within my hand.
The weight of pain, of love,
redemption is a sigh upon my hand
My Christ Lord of the infinite
small to my comfort in my hand
here in my hand.
Humility of Love that tender here lies low
White, trusting, full of care within my hand.
So, in my hand lies God.
Hoc est enim corpus meum.
