I'm beginning the Offertory Propers next week, as I have a small schola of four girls (who are currently "cantors" (they help with discipline in the choir while I'm at the console and can't really watch the children)) who will be singing the chant.
Why are you doing Panis at Offertory and Finest Wheat at Communion?
Finest wheat has a faint echo of some of "Let all mortal flesh", which is based on the Hymn for the Great Entrance, which IIRC, corresponds to the Roman Offertory; whereas Panis is a hymn in honor of the Blessed Sacrament, which since the Consecration hasn't happened yet isn't liturgically "there". I mean, He's there in the Tabernacle, but, you know. Finest Wheat is ambiguous enough in its wording (cup, bread, loaf) as to make it unclear whether it's about the Blessed Sacrament or not.
The other issue is that Fr. wants "stuff people can sing," which of course translates to "stuff people will/are willing to sing." I see what you're getting at with switching them and I may just do that. Thank you for the suggestion! We've also been doing those ambiguous Communion Hymns for years there, and I'd love to do SEP (because it's not in Latin: we've got Latin whiners at our parish and Fr. listens agrees with them), but then we've also got the Participation whiners in the same boat with Fr. and they'd complain about missing the hymn (even with three others to sing). The switcheroo might be the ticket for this one, but Finest Wheat has more verses than Panis, especially if we are restricted to English as we are.
Have you ever checked out the Taste and See antiphons from Illuminare Publications? "Taste and see that The Lord is good" in all 8 modes. Could easily be a congregational refrain while the actual Communion antiphon could be the first "verse."
