    Does anyone know of any two or three part arrangements of Dextera Domini (Offertory for the Easter Vigil) and/or Pascha Nostrum (Communion for the Vigil and Easter)? Thanks.

    There is the STB setting by Cesar Franck, available on CPDL.org.

    You also have, for the communion Pascha nostrum, the piece by Oreste Ravanello published in his Secunda Anthologia Vocalis - Cantus Sacri Tribus Vocibus AEqualibus, available at the Musica Sacra website (pages 68-69).

    I was looking for the Dextera Domini when I came across this post and decided to join this board at MusicaSacra. I emailed a couple of resources and one suggested buying the Carus-Verlag at the hefty price of $7 a copy at: http://www.carus-verlag.com/index.php3?BLink=KKArtikel&ArtikelID=17372 through a vendor for the director and organist and perhaps a couple of extra, then get the rest at the CPDL website! Genius! and I am going to try this. I would prefer the SATB, but $300 is too much to purchase one piece of music at our parish, and probably for many others. This way I will only spend about $35, on perhaps a failed experiment, but you never know! I think this will be great for the proper on Easter Vigil! I'd love to know what you think.

    If you like unaccompanied Romantic choral music, there is a setting of Dextera Domini by Ferenc Kersch (sometimes Franz Kersch) which is simple, short, but effective. It reminds me of a "lite" version of Bruckner style. It is available on CPDL. (When I use it at the Easter Vigil, I usually append the "alleluias" from the end of Brucker's Os Justi to make it more Paschal!)

    Wow! Thanks. I'm going to look for some more of this guy's music.
