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.

Tone 8 (TTB) Communio fauxbourdon: Nemo te_Beati quorum | 2022
Hath no man condemned thee, woman? No man, Lord.
Neither will I condemn thee: now sin no more.
1. Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
2. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3. Because I was silent my bones grew old; whilst I cried out all the day long.
4. I have acknowledged my sin to thee, and my injustice I have not concealed.
5. I said I will confess against myself my injustice to the Lord: and thou hast forgiven the
wickedness of my sin.
