    I'd like to know if anyone has a good quality Spanish setting of the Song of Farewell-Canto de Despedida for Funeral Masses. I thought of setting the Spanish words (somewhat awkwardly) to the Proulx setting of this text (in English) found in Worship II, which can be done- but I'm wondering if anyone has a setting that might be better.

    I wanted to add that I will be using the All Souls Propers from https://spanishpropers.com/, and Mass XVIII, so something in keeping with that style would be appreciated.

    Have you looked in GIA's Oramos Cantando? I would expect there would be something there, though I would guess that it is not chant-based. I know there is a Spanish chant setting of the In Paradisum there.

    Great recommendation, thank you- I had GIA's Oramos Cantando at my last parish, but not at this one, where I'm fairly new. I'm doing Mass XVIII and In Paradisum in Latin, so it's just the Song of Farewell that I'm looking for.
