    It would make a very nice post-communion meditation, if and only if your singers have lovely, well-blended voices. Its simplicity makes for transparency. In other words, there's no place to hide. Everyone has to blend, stay together, not go flat (very easy for singers on sustained notes), and even (gasp) look at the director. But it could be quite affective.

    Francis,

    I like it...and would like to use it. What is the availability of the score and the audio file?

    Francis, I think this is quite beautiful. The movement of the harmonies reminds me of Durufle! I can just hear this working with a treble soloist, and an excellent Celeste stop on the Swell, with a subdued Subbass on the Pedal (Swell coupled through too).

    Do you have anywhere I could download a copy of this score? I'd love to use it for the Easter Vigil.

    Thank you for all the requests and even others via email. Please forgive my delay. I will attend to them in the next day or so. My mother has been having heart probs the last two weeks and I have been running ragged.

    "Anima Christi was written by an unknown author in the first half of the 14th century and Pope John XXII enriched it with indulgences in the year 1330. One can gain a 300 days indulgence every time the prayer is said. A 7 years indulgence if said after Holy Communion and a Plenary Indulgence if said every day for a month under the usual conditions.24

    It is a prayer centered of the suffering and death of Christ. In it we seek union with His suffering, salvation from our sins, strength and protection against Satan, help at the hour of death and the hope of rejoicing with the saints forever.

    It is a very meaningful prayer especially when said after Holy Communion." [www.brogilbert.org/]
