"Ecce Agnus" (TLH #165)


I transposed this from F minor to E minor.  The first phrase is identical to that in "Southwell."  About halfway through the tune, there are two beats of rests that sound really odd to me, but I just followed the notation.  The title of the tune (and the hymn text:  "Behold the Lamb of God!") comes from John 1:29.  "Ecce Agnus" is "Behold the Lamb" in Latin.
