Dia do Corpo de Deus

S. Tomás de Aquino escreveu o hino Verbum Supernum Prodiens (de que O Salutaris Hostia constitui as últimas duas estrofes) para a festa do Corpo de Deus (Corpus Christi):

O Salutaris Hostia
Quae caeli pandis ostium:
Bella premunt hostilia,
Da robur, fer auxilium.

Uni trinoque Domino
Sit sempiterna gloria,
Qui vitam sine termino
Nobis donet in patria.
Amen.

Transcrevo um comentário que subscreveria (apesar de não gostar de jazz):

To be "catholic" is to be all-encompassing, all-embracing, wide ranging and inclusive. Pierre [Pierre de la Rue,], knowing he had possibly touched your "soul" and inspired you to illuminate your pictures with his music over 5 centuries in the future, would be, I believe, not just a little gratified, no matter what form it was played in.
