Hello, colleagues, I'm Tommy from New Orleans. I have an antiphon in my head, almost an ear-worm this morning as it's running through my mind, and will haunt me until I see it on paper.
It's a setting of next Sunday's (25th Sunday in Ordinary Time) Communion Antiphon. I THINK it's from Richard Clark, but can't find anything here in my office at work. I don't think it's a Charles Thatcher piece "I am the Good Shepherd, Alleluia. I know my sheep and my own know me, Alleluia, alleluia."
Aristotle Esguerra has a very similar setting in his Choral Graduale Simplex, but it's not the same one.
I know this is a long shot, since I only have the melody in my head. I may have copies up in Church, but I want to make certain so I can go ahead and choose it.
The "oo" sound on all three instances of "alleluia" is two notes on the one syllable. I apologize for my vagueness
I'm grateful and apologize, too, for the amateurishness of the post. Tommy
I have attached my Antiphon II for the 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Translation from RM 3rd Ed. I will also attach congregation insert. I have composed settings for all of Ordinary Time and Feast Days.Been waiting upon WLP to publish (They have already published Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter.)
The article from Dr. Jerry Galipeau that Liam posted references an antiphon that is VERY similar in text, but not quite the same. It is from the 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time.
Tommy, I'm quite certain the one you are referencing is this one. Text from Graduale Romanum--not Roman Missal 4th Sunday of Easter--hence the Alleluias. Again, very similar. Here's the score + Congregation inseert
Thank you all, folks, special thanks to Richard. The last post is the one, I found it upstairs in my music closet on Sunday morning. I am appreciative for the suggestions and the files!!
