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. The antiphonal nature along with the mix of plainchant and polyphony are sure to make any liturgy all the more solemn and prayerful.
Feel free to ask for a specifica antiphon in the score or you can request that that space be left blank so you can interchange various Tone 8 antiphons.
Need this set to a different Communio text or for SSA or ATB? Contact me and we'll make it happen.
TONE 8 Fauxbourdon "Magnificat" | 2022 | à 3 TTB | 3 - 10'
My soul ✠ * doth magnify the Lord. And my spirit hath rejoiced * in God my Saviour. Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; * for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; * and holy is his name. And his mercy is from generation unto generations, * to them that fear him. He hath showed might in his arm: * he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart. He hath put down the mighty from their seat, * and hath exalted the humble. He hath filled the hungry with good things; * and the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath received Israel his servant, * being mindful of his mercy: As he spoke to our fathers, * to Abraham and to his seed for ever. V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost. R. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Ant. Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day and he saw it, and was glad.
