This is part of an ongoing series of equal-voice fauxbourdons designed to accompany antiphons and psalmody for both the Mass and the 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.

Communio Tone 6 à 3: Circuibo_Dominus illuminatio | 2022
Psalm 26: 6, 1-3
Antiphon
I have gone round, and have offered up in his tabernacle a sacrifice of jubilation: I will sing, and recite a psalm to the Lord.
Psalm
1. The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear?
2. The Lord is the protector of my life: of whom shall I be afraid?
3. Whilst the wicked draw near against me, to eat my flesh.
4. My enemies that trouble me, have themselves been weakened, and have fallen.
5. If armies in camp should stand together against me, my heart shall not fear.
1. Give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2. Let Israel now say, that he is good: that his mercy endureth for ever.
3. In my trouble I called upon the Lord: and the Lord heard me, and enlarged me.
4. It is good to confide in the Lord, rather than to have confidence in man.
5. All nations compassed me about; and in the name of the Lord I have been revenged on them.
6. Surrounding me they compassed me about: and in the name of the Lord I have been revenged on them.
