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 8 à 3: Ego sum vitis_Qui pascis Israel | 2022
John 15: 5
Antiphon
I am the vine, and you the branches; he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit.
Psalm 79*
1. Give ear, O thou that rulest Israel, thou that leads Joseph like a sheep.
2. Thou hast brought a vineyard out of Egypt; thou hast cast out the Gentiles and planted it.
3. Thou wast the guide of its journey in its sight; thou plantedst the roots thereof, and it filled the land. 4.
The shadow of it covered the hills, and the branches thereof the cedars of God.
5. It stretched forth its branches unto the sea, and its boughs unto the river.
6. And perfect the same which thy right hand hath planted, and upon the son of man whom thou hast
confirmed for thyself.
*Nova Vulgata
