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.

-I Corinthians 11:24, 25
Antiphon
This is My Body which shall be delivered for you: this chalice is the new Testament in My Blood, saith the Lord: do this, as often as you receive it, in commemoration ofMe.
Psalm 115
1. I have believed, therefore have I spoken; but I have been humbled exceedingly.
2. I said in my excess: Every man is a liar.
3. What shall I render to the Lord, for all the things that he hath rendered to me? I will take the chalice of salvation; and I will call upon the name of the Lord.
4. I will pay my vows to the Lord before all his people: precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
5. O Lord, for I am thy servant: I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid.
6. Thou hast broken my bonds: I will sacrifice to thee the sacrifice of praise, and I will call upon the name of the Lord.
7. I will pay my vows to the Lord in the sight of all his people: in the courts of the house of the Lord, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.
