About Ave verum
Angelina Figus’s Ave verum is a devotional setting for three-part women’s voices (SSA). The Latin text, a traditional Communion hymn, is treated with delicate sensitivity, the voices weaving together in a devotional texture. Figus’s writing for the SSA ensemble is idiomatic and lyrical, creating moments of serene beauty. The harmonic language is warm and reassuring, perfectly capturing the contemplative spirit of the text. This piece offers a gentle yet profound musical reflection on the sacrament, ideal for services or quiet reflection.
