Corpus Christi: William Byrd's "Ave Verum Corpus"

Today, the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi), we celebrate our Lord's unfathomable gift of Himself in the Holy Eucharist.  One of the most beautiful musical evocations of Christ's True Presence in the Eucharist is William Byrd's "Ave Verum Corpus" (Hail, True Body), performed in the clip below by The Tallis Scholars.
