Come and Eat This Bread (Gather Comprehensive 831)

Emma’s parish are doing this Marty Haugen song today and after being uplifted by his wise presence at the APMN conference last weekend I’d decided to have a listen.

She carefully noted it is from the “Up From the Waters” collection (so purchase the collection if you want to use the song), and I wondered why.  It turns out Haugen has another song from a mass setting with the same title and even GIA get them mixed up. All the downloadable sheet music you can buy is the other one. The text is here (scroll down).

The sound sample here is the one I was after, but the sheet music sample on that page is the wrong one.

I have a choir copy of Gather Comprehensive so I’m afraid I just made up some simple chords and doubtless I will lose all of Haugen’s harmonic subtlety.
