The Eucharist

(Organ/Piano Score)

A unison setting of the main sections of the


contemporary liturgy, common (with minor variations)
to most Main-stream Denominations and intended
primarily for parish choir and congregational use

By
J.L.Sarsteiner
Performance Notes

As this setting is, by it's nature, intended for liturgical use, it's performance should, primarily, be dictated by

the textual content. Dynamic, articulation and tempo markings have been generally omitted, (with the

exception of Agnus Dei), these aspects of performance being left to the organist/accompanist to determine,

bearing in mind the resources available (whether they be choral, congregational or both).

Agnus Dei, being intended as a solo (or soli) to be sung during the communion and therefore, likely to have

been subject to some prior rehearsal, contains some indications as to interpretation.
