Suite: Holy Thursday Foot Washing Antiphons (SAB Motets)

Here are five SAB(ar.) motets which set antiphons 1, 3, 4, 5, & 6 for the ceremony of Foot Washing on Holy Thursday.

A series of demos & practice tracks of these motets can be previewed here.

These motets are accessible to even modest choirs, and while intended to be sung a cappella, a separate “reduction” part is provided for accompanists who prefer not to play from the open score.

Included with your purchase are the following PDFs in a .zip file:
1.) Motets (with front matter) formatted to US Letter (for regular double-sided printing and placing into 3-ring binders)
2.) Motets (with front matter) formatted as an 11x17 booklet (recommended printing †1 method)
3.) Reduction part formatted to US Letter
4.) Reduction formatted as 11x17 booklet

Purchasing permits you to print as many copies as needed for your choir. You may NOT share the PDFs with third parties or post to other archives / websites.

†1 • Where available, you are encouraged to print these as 11x17 booklets (folded in half they are normal US Letter sized). To do so, choose the “two sided: Landscape, short-edge” option on your printer. A regular long-reach stapler (available cheaply online) can then be used to “saddle stitch” the booklets together (be sure to staple the outside of the booklet, so the staples curl inward). This approach has the advantage that no pages can be lost/separated, saving rehearsal time and making filing much simpler.
