G major
Ave verum corpus - Mozart - was created in 1791.
ave verum corpus
it is in latin! :)) aXx. lol!!
I would pronounce it "Ayve vare um"
If it's PRONOUNCED verum, the real word is Warum (Vah-ROOM) it means why. The above is not completely correct: "verum" (vare-um) is Latin for "true". "warum" is German for "why". The first three words of the Motzart Latin hymn " Ave, verum corpus" translates to "Hail, true body", referring to Christ on the Cross.
ave verum corpus
It is normally found written in the key of D major by most publishers. However, no reason it can't be transposed to the key of E major or any other key for that matter.
Yes, "Ave" is capitalized when it is the first word of a sentence or when it is part of a proper noun, such as "Ave Maria."
Mozart did write music for Ave Verum Corpus. Today, his version is the most commonly heard version in Roman Catholic churches.

Mozart [1756 to 1791] Mozart wrote the Ave Verum in June 1791, six months before he died. He was 35 years of age. Had he lived, one wonders what other beautiful music he would have left us with. Marian Cooper
