A beautifully simple and perfectly devotional setting of the Tantum ergo by René Quignard, a French composer who quietly bridged the gap between the late Romantic era and 20th century whilst organist at Notre Dame de Versailles.
Thank you for supporting my work and keeping the lights on at this page.
Tantum Ergo ~Quignard | TTB a cappella | ca 3 min.
DOWN in adoration falling,
Lo! the sacred Host we hail, Lo! oe'r ancient forms departing Newer rites of grace prevail; Faith for all defects supplying,
Where the feeble senses fail.
To the everlasting Father, And the Son Who reigns on high
With the Holy Spirit proceeding Forth from each eternally,
Be salvation, honor blessing, Might and endless majesty. Amen.
