Fugue, à 5 Click to Listen, [2:5]
The second movement of Veni Creator, with the top two voices on a Cornet (actually just the Holz Gedeckt 8' and Sesquialtera II), the next two on a Krummhorn, the bottom voice in the Pedal (Spitzprincipal 8'). Though there are supposed to be two cornets, this version was reduced for a smaller organ. Impulse reverberation added. Instrument: Buzard Opus 3 (1986) - Samples by Brett Milan

Chorale Text
Latin:
Pange, lingua, gloriosi
Corporis mysterium,
Sanguinisque pretiosi,
quem in mundi pretium
fructus ventris generosi
Rex effudit Gentium.
--Thomas Aquinas, 13th century

English:
Now, my tongue, the mystery telling,
Of the glorious body sing,
And the blood, all price excelling,
Which all mankind's Lord and King,
In a virgin's womb once dwelling,
Shed for this world's ransoming.
--tr. Edward Caswall, 1861
