    Here's a setting of Anima Christi that could work for any SATB choir. It has a piece of the original chant and has an optional organ part doubling the voices. Enjoy and Christos Voskrese!

  • Vansensei,

    The text I know has more than you've included. Does the text known among Orthodox brethren have a shortened version?

    I'm not Orthodox haha, I just like the East. The shortened text is for brevity. I'll write a longer motet of the complete text another time.

    Given the musical difficulty, I don't think there's any need for a reduction. There's no reason you shouldn't be able to get the score down to two pages at the most, and probably one without difficulty.
