    Does anyone know this piece, as sung for processions at Lourdes? There's a simple refrain of Lauda Sion salvatorem, Lauda ducem et pastorem, in hymnis et canticis with some verses chanted in between.

    Composer might be named Décha.
    I'd be very grateful to put my hands on the sheet music quickly.

    In case anyone else is interested, I have found it in my SSPX Hymnal. Mazingue, arr. Besnier.

    Father Paul Decha was the music director and choir director for the Lourdes Sanctuary for many many years...he composed many of the hymns used there"....could you contact the Sanctuary?

    Thanks, FP, I found it in a hymnal - it is by Ernest Mazingue.
