This particular antiphon is sung while the Bishop "crumbs" his hands after administering Confirmation. The composed Gloria Patri fauxbourdon is sung in between. The recording below contains the same music, but a different text. See perusal score for details.
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.
