    Palestrina’s Veni Sponsa Christi. There’s also a Mass based on the motet.

    I can second those recommendations: we read through both Palestrina last night.

    They’re on my list for us to do eventually. I did them at St Martin of Tours in Louisville a while ago.

    Iesu Corona Virginum- We love this version https://filedn.com/lBoJzYvlHJtk0A2g5K0XgL7/Pius X/Latin/Jesu Corona Virginum.pdf

    Sicut Cervus would also be appropriate during communion. In the revised rite of the Consecration of a Virgin it’s one of the communion antiphon options. I believe it is also in the 1962 Roman Pontifical.

    Veni Sponsa Christi is the antiphon sung during crowning of a virgin in the 1962 RP. I believe it’s the tract in the 1962 RM for the common of virgin martyrs. Regardless, Palenstrina’s version is one I’ve always wanted to sing.

    And it’s from the office!

    SC is also simply one of the best go-tos anyway.

    It is also Palestrina’s 500th birthday this year. Might as well let his music resound.
