English, Spanish. Text Source: Adapt. from Rite of Dedication, tr. Jaime Cortez; Translation: Jaime Cortez.

It's true that most pastoral musicians never face the challenge of choosing music for the Rite of Dedication of a Church. For those who do, this can be a once-in-a-lifetime event! Specific music is required and the assembly must be educated and prepared for this blessed occasion. In David Kauffman's collection Bless This Church, the same melodic line graces each of the six different texts (each in English and in Spanish) used for the rites of dedication. The repetitive, wonderfully singable tune serves the assembly well, making it easy for the congregation to fully participate in this unique event. Use all six pieces or just one. Assembly reprint boxes in Spanish and in English are included in the music collection. Each and every parish dedicating a new space needs to consider this practical and inspired collection!

There are very few composers who have left such a comprehensive oeuvre covering all genres as Camille Saint-Saens. His vocal music, however, has rather fallen into oblivion - if one leaves aside his 'indestructible' Christmas oratorio (Oratorio de Noel, Opus 12). But apart from that, Saint-Saens, who worked as an organist at various churches from 1852, composed a number of little church music works: settings for different instrumentations, certainly destined to be used in services, including his Ave verum for four-part choir (including organ without pedal ad lib.). It is a simple, yet harmonically rich setting which constitutes a valuable addition to the choral repertoire and an evocative alternative to the common Ave settings.
