Ubi Caritas - Three Voices
-
This composition sets Ubi Caritas to three voices (SAA, but could be sung an octave down). The top line is the chant melody, which should be approachable for beginners. I borrowed stylistically from both the Durufle and the Dalitz settings, trying to combine elements of both. Free PDF and recording here:

Very nice! I definitely hear parallels to Durufle's setting in yours.

Thank you, very nice.
For the OF the antiphonal response was altered to read Ubi caritas est vera, Deus ibi est, "after certain very early manuscripts". I am curious to know what manuscripts those are, but I was never quite comfortable with amor. The theme is broadly taken from St John's epistles, and I don't think he uses amor. -
Simply stunning! Beautifully conceived and realized. This is a gem!
