Communion; Feasts of the Blessed Sacrament |
| Remarks: |
This large-scale responsory setting of John 6: 51-2 ("I am the living bread that came down from heaven.") finds Palestrina
at his most expansive. This relatively brief text is treated
to intricately worked out imitative passages which take some surprising
harmonic twists. Each half concludes with an elaborate alleluia section in triple meter. |
