Seasonal Chant for Christmas
-
We have very long communion processions and they double at Christmas. An "extra" seasonal chant would be a good idea for us at times. I was thinking something in line with Lent's "Parce Domine" or "Attende Domine." Does anyone have a suggestion?
-
One of the antiphons and verses from the Simplex?
-
The book Cantus Selecti has many seasonal pieces.

Realizing there's already a thread discussing it, what about Of the Father's Love Begotten (Corde Natus ex Parentis, if you want it in Latin)?

Puer Natus in Bethlehem

I have one book with all the verses written out, most only have the first verse.Thanked by 1canadash -
We have used "Unto Us a Child is Born" during communion for the last few years and it seems to be very effective.

"Of the Father's Love Begotten"/"Corde Natus Ex Parentis" is ideal for Christmastide ... English or Latin ... great text, great chant.
-
Also, as I point out every year, it has a gazillion verses. Perfect for communion.
