This is part of an ongoing series of equal-voice fauxbourdons designed to accompany antiphons and psalmody for both the Mass and Divine Office.
These are easily adaptable for a schola of any size. Sing a few verses with the Gloria Patri or all the verses depending on the time needed for the distribution of communion and its procession. The antiphonal nature along with the mix of plainchant and polyphony are sure to make any liturgy all the more solemn and prayerful.
It was first set to the Communio text for Ultimo festivitatis die for the Vigil of Pentecost.
Premiered & Recorded May 27, 2023 at Chapel of Ss. Peter and Paul, Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary, FSSP | Denton, NE for Rev. Fr. Quinn Gomez's First Mass.
Singers: Rev. Mr. Jacob Kasak, Rev. Mr. Christopher Eichman, John Francis Sulzen, Andrew Daniels, Conan McGonagle, Marhall Harmon, David Carter, Dominic Rumore, Matthew Davis, Brewer Arnoult, Kevin Zaporski, Ryan Ng, Rev. Fr. Elijah Mundattuchundayil, n. e. lemme

My house shall be called the house of prayer, saith the Lord: in it every one that asketh receiveth: and he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Mt. 21:13
Psalm 83: 2-5, 9
1. How lovely are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts! my soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the
Lord.
2. My heart and my flesh have rejoiced in the living God.
3. For the sparrow hath found herself a house, and the turtle a nest for herself where she may lay her
young ones:
4. Thy altars, O Lord of hosts, my king and my God.
5. Blessed are they that dwell in thy house, O Lord: they shall praise thee for ever and ever.
6. O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob.
