The Graduale Romanum includes multiple antiphons to accompany the washing of feet that takes place annually during the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on the evening of Maundy Thursday. Martin Baker takes these chants as its starting point for a choral piece designed to be sung in order to cover (but not overrun) the entire washing ceremony. Taking inspiration from Maurice Duruflé’s choral settings of Gregorian chant, the arrangement incorporates the metrical freedom and shapes of the plainsong neumes. The piece concludes with a setting of the words Mandatum novum, calling to mind the Gospel acclamation set chorally by James O’Donnell, which is included here as an appendix. A simpler arrangement with organ accompaniment is included as an alternative where this is more practicable.
