Processional hymn: Alleluia, Sing to Jesus, 936
Recessional hymn: Soul of My Savior, 938
Kyriale: Mass XI, 740; Credo IV, 780
Motet after Offertory: Ave Maris Stella, Rev. Guillaume Dufay (c. 1397–1474)
Communion Antiphon: Panem de Cœlo, Heinrich Isaac
The communion antiphon is a setting by Heinrich Isaac. The text of the antiphon is: Thou hast given us bread from heaven, O Lord, having in it all that is delicious, and every taste of sweetness. This passage taken from Wisdom 16:20 is a slight variation of the verse and response just prior to Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. Isaac’s setting retains the original Gregorian melody in the Tenor voice.
Heinrich Isaac (c.1450–1517) was a Renaissance composer from the South Netherlandish region. His output was rivaled only by Orlandus Lassus in number and variety of composition. Most notable of his collections is Choralis Constantinus which contains nearly 400 Gregorian chant based motets of propers for the Mass.
