Venite populi, K.260/248a

One of a series of liturgical works composed for the Salzburg Cathedral, the Offertorium de venerabili sacramento was first performed there on Ascension Day, 1776. With antiphonal double chorus and small orchestra, it harkens back to works of the baroque era. The score offered here is a newly engraved edition formatted in an easy-to-read convenient size. Editor Richard Sargeant has consulted all available sources to produce an authoritative edition complete with a continuo realization.
