Sing, my tongue

"Pange lingua gloriosi proelium," probably written by the 6th century Christian poet Venantius Fortunatus, is perhaps a lesser known text than the "Pange lingua" that is sung on Holy Thursday, though it apparently pre-dates it. This setting is somewhat minimalist, modeled on Arvo Part's tintinnabulum style. The piece works as a processional for Lenten and Holy Week concerts or devotional choral services for Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, feasts of the Holy Cross, and other occasions. Piano is used in this version, but it could be sung entirely a cappella.
