"Melody is the very essence of music." -W.A.Mozart (1786)
Mozart confirmed this view on melody by writing the Ave Verum Corpus near the
end of his short life. Originally written for chorus, strings, and organ, this work stands
among the most beautiful musical expressions of all time. Timothy Johnson has skillfully
made Mozart's wondrous achievement available to concert bands. It's perfect for
worship services and the sostenuto style, with careful attention to dynamics, makes
it a great choice for that "middle" spot at festival or for the more serious moment at
any performance. Given the opportunity, young bands LOVE to play truly great
music, and it just doesn't get much better than the mastery of Mozart.
