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 along with the mix of plainchant and polyphony are sure to make any liturgy all the more solemn and prayerful.
It was first set to the Communio text for Ultimo festivitatis die for the Vigil of Pentecost.
Premiered & Recorded May 27, 2023 at Chapel of Ss. Peter and Paul, Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary, FSSP | Denton, NE for Rev. Fr. Quinn Gomez's First Mass.

2. Say unto God, How terrible are thy works, O Lord! in the multitude of thy strength thy enemies shall lie to thee.
3. Come and see the works of God; who is terrible in his counsels over the sons of men.
4. Who turneth the sea into dry land, in the river they shall pass on foot: there shall we rejoice in him.
5. O bless our God, ye Gentiles: and make the voice of his praise to be heard.
