    Thanks for this, Chris. I like the flashy alto line. : ) The opening phrase is evocative of soldiers marching, I think, and the modulations are fascinating. Some great word-painting in this.

    Julie,

    Thank you.

    Yes, the opening phrase in the lower three parts is, precisely, soldiers on detail.
    "aperuit" does just that: opens wide.
    The alto line undoes, at the end, what it does at the beginning: lancea latus ejus:: et aqua.

    Quite lovely and very useable. I would like to use this when we celebrate the Feast of the Most Precious Blood the first Sunday in July; as it is also the communio for the votive mass of the Most Precious Blood.
