Description
Mozart wrote this short piece for a friend of his in a small town near Vienna. It is very simple
yet hauntingly beautiful. Mozart’s friend was the conductor/pastor of the local amateur church choir,
so the piece had to be playable/singable by inexperienced performers. Ave Verum Corpus was
probably written in a day, but turned out to be one of Mozart’s most memorable compositions,
loved all over the world by all people(s).
Transcribed and adapted for solo guitar (notation and tab).
Ideal for festive occasions, such as weddings and the like.
Length: 2’48”, 2 pages. Playable score.
Degree of difficulty: medium to advanced intermediate
Played and recorded by Markus Plattner
