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.
Need this set to a different Communio text or for SSA or ATB? Contact me and we'll make it happen.

Communio Tone 6 à 3: Tu es Petrus_Domine probasti | 2022
Matthew 16:18
Antiphon
That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church.
Psalm 138: 1-6.
1. Lord, thou hast proved me, and known me: thou hast known my sitting down, and my rising up.
2. Thou hast understood my thoughts afar off: my path and my line thou hast searched out.
3. And thou hast foreseen all my ways: for there is no speech in my tongue.
4. Behold, O Lord, thou hast known all things, the last and those of old: thou hast formed me, and hast laid thy hand upon me.
5. Thy knowledge is become wonderful to me: it is high, and I cannot reach to it.
