An SATB arrangement of Angelus Domini in the style of Maurice Durufle's Ubi Caritas. The ancient and venerable text is retained with it's original Gregorian chant melody.
"The Angelus" is sung 3 times throughout the day with ringing of bells at 6:00 AM, 12 Noon and 6:00 PM. This practice still continues in various parts of the world, in monastic life and in more traditional Catholic communities.
This arrangement is also suitable for liturgical use in churchs and schools, particularly for Marian feasts and would also be excellent for Advent or Christmas concert season.
I know you all are looking for musical settings, but I did have to format this for my priest recently, so here's a bilingual english/spanish version if anyone might find it useful. (2-up statement on US letter; these were printed onto large labels and placed in the back of our pew missals)
There was a big discussion about it here brought up by the arranger of the Angelus I posted, as it’s an SATB version based on the chant and he was looking for whom to give credit to. The general consensus was that no one really knows.
