Description

With Jesus We Sing offers schools and parishes a simple, appealing, musical way to utilize the three Eucharistic Prayers which the Church has adapted for use by young congregations. These Eucharistic Prayers assign to the children many responses, which ideally should be sung. With Jesus We Sing is an effective setting of all these responses with organ accompaniment.

The congregational music is always introduced by a brief and unique organ intonation to prompt the children's response. These responses may be sung by the congregation in unison, or optional choral elaborations and canonic treatment of specific responses may be used. Ranges and styles are such that instruments (particularly handbells, flute, and trumpet) may be added for special celebrations.

Included on the last page of this publication are the melody line and words to all the congregation responses. Because we give you permission to copy this page for your congregation, you only ever need to buy one copy of this music!
