Description:
This wonderful hymn for Eucharist was crafted with an eye toward the specific needs of the Communion processional. Both the tempo marking and strict rhythm move the piece along with stately grace, while the memorable refrain makes it possible to process and sing without the aid of a hymnal. The text consists almost entirely of images inviting contemplation of the mystery of the Holy Eucharist. While orchestral and choral elaboration is available, the composition can also be sung unison, with the assembly on the refrain and a cantor singing the verses.
