I might have to check the rest of their analyses since this one is dodgy. I disagree with the analysis from the ACBC on several points. I made a backing anyway and it’s fine as a song and the sheet music is available at OCP. It is not the greatest exemplar for a contemporary liturgical song. This, then is a slow burn P&W style song that builds nicely into a somewhat repetitious bridge but not one that encourages participation particularly, and is more about Eucharist than for Eucharist. Today's song is one of our favorite Communion hymns from CCC.In Remembrance of Me with words by R. You have to feel sorry for Marty Haugen copping criticism for his song “All Are Welcome” if this text is OK. I’m happy with “for any to receive” and “all are welcome in this place”, but then I’m one of those progressive Catholics. It starts out as an individual prayer before becoming corporate, “my God would welcome me” probably because “us” wouldn’t sing as well there. It is best as a solo vehicle or at least needing a cantor for the bridge. The bridge cannot just be taken down the octave because the second bar would go down to a low G and there would little differentiation from the verses and refrain, leading to monotony. It is only singable if, like Matt Maher, you ignore all the stuttering sixteenth notes in the sheet music. I worry this is a song about Eucharist than for Eucharist.
