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. 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.

-I Corinthians 11:24, 25
Antiphon
This is My Body which shall be delivered for you: this chalice is the new Testament in My Blood, saith the Lord: do this, as often as you receive it, in commemoration ofMe.
Psalm 22
1. The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing.
2. He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment.
3. He hath led me on the paths of justice, for his own name's sake. 4. For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death,I will fear no evils, for thou art with me.
5. Thy rod and thy staff, they have comforted me.
6. Thou hast prepared a table before me, against them that afflict me. 7. Thou hast anointed my head with oil; and my chalice is overflowing. 8. And thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life.
