Composed by Alex Hill. Text: The Roman Missal. Music for the Sprinkling Rite during Eastertide. Easter, Liturgy. Published by CanticaNOVA Publications (C5.3025).The Sprinkling Rite is a perfect option for the Introductory Rite during the Easter season, and I Saw Water Flowing by Alex Hill is the perfect music to accompany it! Based entirely on the familiar chant Vidi aquam, this piece is introduced with a direct quote of the first line of the chant and continues with a metrical version of the chant melody throughout. A congregational antiphon is interspersed with two verses, a doxology, and concluding Alleluia. Flowing water is symbolized in the walking quarter notes of the bass line in the organ accompaniment. With I Saw Water Flowing, Mr. Hill has produced a marvelous liturgical setting which is rhythmic, easily sung and faithful to the Gregorian melodies. Use it as a stately unifying element on each of the Sundays of the Easter season!
