Communion (chant)

Communio referred to in the liturgy of the Latin Church the song for communion. This was originally as the Introit antiphonaler a song consisting of an antiphon and a matching Psalm. Today, often only the antiphon without the psalm sung ( antiphona ad communionem ).

Communion is part of the proprium, ie the changing according to the time of the church year or the respective Remembrance parts of the liturgy. They often relies on a verse from the Gospel of the Day.

In the Lutheran liturgy evolved from the name of the Communio Musica sub communione, which also includes chorales and free musical settings may include texts of devotion.
