Communion (chant)
Encyclopedia : C : CO : COM : Communion (chant)
The Communion is the Gregorian chant sung during the Eucharist in the Roman Mass. It is one of the antiphonal chants of the Proper of the Mass, and the final chant in the proper. It is followed by the Post-Communion.
There are several Choral works that have been composed that draw directly or thematically from the ceremony of Communion that are titled Lux Aeterna (disambiguation). Notably Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was raised Catholic, composed a Requiem Mass, in which the final Communio movement is called Lux Aeterna.
The text is ordinarily from a psalm.
