Description

The setting presented here attempts to bring past and present together—the introduction employs the original Latin text while the verses use an altered version of the text in modern English.

The bell parts, though optional, are especially effective when played in procession. If bells are not used, the organist may play the harmonization of verse 2 or 3 in place of the bell accompaniment of verse 4.

—Carl Crosier
