The magnificently voiced and beautiful Welsh Mezzo Soprano Katherine Jenkins performs with fellow Welsh behemoth of song, the baritone Bryn Terfel, CBE, to sing composer Karl Jenkins' new arrangement of the 14th Century Eucharistic hymn 'Ave Verum Corpus' ('Hail, true body'), at Bryn Terfel's Faenol Festival (Gŵyl y Faenol), Faenol Estate, north Wales, Friday 26th August 2005.

'Ave Verum Corpus' ('Hail, true body')

This arrangement specially prepared by Welsh composer Karl Jenkins, OBE, for Bryn Terfel.

Ave verum Corpus natum
de Maria Virgine:
Vere passum, immolatum
in Cruce pro homine.

Cuius latus perforatum
fluxit aqua et sanguine:
Esto nobis praegustatum
mortis in examine.

O Iesu dulcis!
O Iesu pie!
O Iesu fili Mariae.

........................................ ........................................ ......................

Hail, true body,
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Truly suffered, sacrificed
On the Cross for mankind,
Whose pierced side
Flowed with water and blood,
Be for us a foretaste
In the trial of death.

O sweet Jesus!
O gentle Jesus!
O Jesus son of Mary.

  • This must be the ...

    This must be the most beautiful mezzo-soprano singing nowadays but her beauty does not take away from her talent as a great singer, if anything it adorns it! I love this arrangement. Sweet. Fresh. A true delight to listen to and a heavenly rendition, in my view.

    Is this available anywhere or was it only done for the stage? I knew I'd heard Bryn sing this song with a female accomplice!
