“Tantum Ergo†by Joseph Haydn
Joseph Haydn, the renowned Austrian composer of the Classical period, crafted a beautiful setting for the sacred Latin hymn “Tantum Ergoâ€. This hymn, attributed to Saint Thomas Aquinas, holds deep significance in the history of the Catholic Church.
Haydn’s arrangement is designed for SATB choir (soprano, alto, tenor, bass). Through harmonies and vocal lines, he captures the solemnity and reverence associated with the text. Worshippers are invited to contemplate the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist as they sing this timeless hymn.
The legacy of Thomism—the theological and philosophical system based on Saint Thomas Aquinas’s works—is woven into Haydn’s composition. As you offer this sheet music to others, you continue the tradition of devotion that spans centuries.
