Eucharistic Acclamations – new settings

Unlike the previous selection, these settings were all composed for the new texts. I have used all of these settings at some point and have no hesitation in recommending them.

The people take part in the Eucharistic Prayer by listening attentively to the words sung or spoken by the priest and joining their hearts and minds to the actions of the prayer. Their voices should be joined together in the acclamations of the Eucharistic Prayer, including the Sanctus, the great cosmic acclamation of praise; the Memorial Acclamation, by which the faithful participate in keeping the memory of Christ’s Paschal Mystery; and the Amen that follows the concluding doxology, by which they give assent to the entire prayer. These acclamations should be sung, especially on Sundays and solemnities

US Bishops – ‘Sing to the Lord’

Parish Mass – Peter Jones

Decani Music
Glory to God Book
Laudate revised 482-486

A straightforward setting with a solid melody. Well worth adding to the repertoire if it isn’t there already.

Pershore Mass – Alan Smith

Laudate revised 579-581
Decani Music
Glory to God Book

A good strong melody makes this setting easy to pick up and sing.

Bakhita acclamations – Nick Baty

CFE revised 422-424
Concept Music Online

One of the earliest settings composed for the new translation. This has the benefit of an extremely simple keyboard accompaniment written “for a grade IV nun” to quote the composer.
