    I have been asked to play the old music for the memorial acclamation "When We Eat This Bread..." from Mass for Christian Unity by Vermulst, World Library Publications. The 2012 rendition is different than the original. I cannot locate the music and was wondering if anyone could post a pdf of the music. Thanks

    Well, the old one is no longer licit for use, but I assume you know that already...

    WLP (World Library Publications) has an updated version available, including Memorial Acclamations:

    Thank you for posting the video/recording. I've never been particularly tempted to learn the whole of the Mass by Vermulst, but at least now I have been able to hear it, without learning it or using it at Mass. Just a caution: by the manner in which this recording is introduced, OP runs the risk of persuading us that the Acclamation itself is 4:38 seconds long.


    Didn't someone else write a piece called 4:37?

    Which is preferable?

    Judge for yourself (it's actually titled 4'33"):
