- Title
Weerbeke's Anima Christi: A popular devotional text receives a striking and eminently singable setting in the hands of Gaspar van Weerbeke.
- Authors
James, Aaron
- Abstract
The article focuses on the "Anima Christi", popular devotional text of composer Gaspar van Weerbeke. It mentions that churchgoers would have encountered texts like the "Anima Christi" not through musical setting but in the books of hours used by pious laypeople. It also mentions that "Anima Christi" is most suitable for an all-male ensemble with a countertenor on the top voice.
