Unison voices, SATB choir, a cappella

SKU: C5.3085

Composed by Gary Penkala. Text: Saint Thomas Aquinas & Psalm 145. Effective Communion Psalm for Holy Thursday. Holy Thursday, Communion. Octavo. Published by CanticaNOVA Publications (C5.3085).

This eucharistic processional, ideally suited for Holy Thursday liturgies, combines the familiar Tantum ergo melody Saint Thomas with a Gregorian tone setting of Psalm 145. The refrain for this piece consists of the first phrase of the common melody and can be sung by congregation with the choir providing an original, preferably a cappella, SATB harmony. Verses in English, taken from the poetic New American Standard Bible translation, should be sung alternately by men and women. A concluding doxology precedes the full statement of the "Saint Thomas" melody by the congregation, which closes the processional. This work is a simple and powerful way to link a well-known hymn with the subtle art of chanting.
