THE
COMMUNION ANTIPHON
The
choir sings this chant as a refrain, during the communion of the clergy. The
Communion below is sung on
the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (Sept. 14). We should like to show
the ornate chant notation for this Communion; perhaps in the future we
may add the notation to this site.
