A nice “Christus factus est”

It’s of about the same level of difficulty as the Anerio. Alas, since I am retreating a bit from polyphony and chant for the rest of the choir season at my parish, I won’t be using it this year.
The composer is Pompeo Cannicciari, who also has a nice “Improperium exspectavit” (the Palm Sunday offertory) on CPDL.

Why the retreat?
For one, because I am already planning 4 communion chants, Palestrina “Sicut”, and now, Hallelujah chorus.
Also because I sense that the singers are eager, at least for the time being, for less “heady” music. Bearing in mind that they never sang a note of polyphony (save for, years ago, Hallelujah) before I got there, I want to keep things comfortable. Slow and steady - or at least, slower and steadier than it’s been.
