One of a series of liturgical works composed for the Salzburg Cathedral, the Offertorium de venerabili sacramento, better known as Venite Populi 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 vocal score offered here is newly engraved and specially formatted in an easy-to-read size for today's choruses. Editor Richard W. Sargeant, Jr. has consulted all available sources to produce an authoritative vocal score designed with a chorus' needs in mind.
