    I am going to be playing and singing for first mass on Trinity Sunday this year and would like to find a setting of "Tu es sacerdos" (Ps. 110:4b) for SATB choir, either a capella or with accompaniment. The full text is "Tu es sacérdos in ætérnum secúndum órdinem Melchísedech." The piece could include the preceding text "Juravit Dominus et non pænitébit eum." The setting does not have to be too simple, but it should be on the short side (under 3 minutes) if possible.

    A search on CPDL yields mostly fauxbourdon settings of Psalm 110 ("Dixit Dominus") but I am looking for a through composed work. Thank you for any suggestions.

    The St Gregory Hymnal contains a romantic setting of Tu es sacerdos by Aloys Desmet. http://forum.musicasacra.com/forum/uploads/2012/01/Tu%20es%20Sacerdos.pdf

    Here's a version we performed just last Friday night (May 10 2013) at St Mary's Cathedral, Sydney at a solemn mass (EF).

    recording is here:

    (Other music recordings of that mass are on the same site - scroll down to near the end of the page:

    There is a beautiful setting by Robert Kreutz SATB and organ. It is very French influenced. We have used it for priest ordinations in the past at the Oakland Cathedral.
    I'm not sure if it is still in print...
