A short and highly approachable setting of the Latin text, 'Tantum ergo Sacramentum Veneremur cernui' ('Therefore, so great a Sacrament Let us venerate with heads bowed') for upper voices and organ. The voices are mostly in unison throughout, with a short passage in two parts. The simple organ part supports throughout, doubling the voices and adding lower textures. Suitable for sacred use, most notably as a motet during a Eucharist service, or as a short, but pleasing concert piece.
