The Feast of Corpus Christi is observed in many Anglican and Lutheran churches as well as throughout the Roman Catholic Church where it was established as universal feast (today a solemnity) in 1264. Originally celebrated on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday, it is now generally observed on the following Sunday. Sacerdotes Domini was sung during the offertory of the Mass. This Sunday the Cathedral Choirs will perform William Byrd, Sacerdotes Domini, as the Communion Motet during Choral Eucharist. Click to hear the choir of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford, Stephen Darlington conducting [text]. Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford, has a recording of Byrd's Mass for Four Voices with the propers of Corpus Christi available for online listening through the Naxos Music Library.
