communion anthem for eight unaccompanied voices; recently recorded by Tonus Peregrinus and published by Faber Music in 2001; recorded by TONUS PEREGRINUS and released on Hyperion in June 2005 (CDA67507); duration: c.4'30"

The simplest of undulating melodies that starts this piece accumulates heterophonic accompaniments over an underlying harmonic progression (explored further in Amen, completed the following year) - the result is slightly reminiscent both of Russian Orthodox music of various vintages and of William Byrd's note-against-note style in Christe, qui lux es. As usual, the commas indicate actual breaks in the fabric of the music (rather than time out of the notated durations).
