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 and the mix of both plainchant and harmony are sure to make any liturgy all the more solemn and prayerful.
It was first set to the Communio text for Fidelis servus.
