Give Us the Bread of Life

Generous use of mixed meter and good text setting illuminate the text by Tobias Colgan, & Genevieve Glen, OSB. With a refrain that has an accessible melodic contour and range, and themes of hunger for the Eucharist, this song is ideal for use as a communion song. Scored for SATB choir and descant, the complex harmonies strongly support the melody. The implied tonal modulations on the verses make this piece ideal for the more advanced choir.
