The Poetic Sequence for the feast of Corpus Christi is one of only four sequences used during the liturgical year. Walker has masterfully set the long form of the sequence with usage notes on how to sing the nested short form, if desired. Since this sequence is sung after the Second Reading, there is a Gospel Acclamation and verse provided in this octavo that naturally flows out of the end of the sequence. The assembly friendly melody is intuitive and easy to sing; it is enhanced by SAB choral parts and a straightforward keyboard accompaniment.
