To receive items before Christmas, please place your order by December 10. OCP offices will be closed from December 25, 2023 through January 1, 2024, but orders can be placed on ocp.org during that time.

Using the English translation from The Book of Common Prayer, the four movements of this mass setting, a “Communion Service for the Incarnation” all incorporate some portion of the Introit for Christmas Day “Puer natus est nobis” for motivic coherence. Employing dense harmonic language in a largely homophonic choral texture, large vocal ranges, some divisi writing, irregular and mixed meters, and a full organ accompaniment, this piece is intended for advanced choirs. Not for use in Catholic liturgies.
