This is part of an ongoing series of equal-voice fauxbourdons designed to accompany antiphons and psalmody for both the Mass and Divine Office.
Need this set to a different Communio text or for SSA or ATB? Contact me and we'll make it happen.
The text in the recording differs from this score, but the music remains the same.

Antiphon
Beata viscera Mariae Virginis,quae portaverunt aeterni Patris Filium; [Alleluia.]
Blessed is the womb of the Virgin Mary, that bore the son of the everlasting Father: [Alleluia]
Lk. 46-55
1. My heart hath uttered a good word: I speak my works to the king:
2. With thy comeliness and thy beauty set out, proceed prosperously, and reign.
3. Because of truth and meekness and justice: and thy right hand shall conduct thee wonderfully.
4. Thou hast loved justice, and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
5. The queen stood on thy right hand, in gilded clothing; surrounded with variety.
6. Hearken, O daughter, and see, and incline thy ear: and forget thy people and thy father’s house.
