Composed by Ephrem Feeley. Ordinary Time 18 B. Choral. Sacred. Octavo. 8 pages. GIA Publications #9630. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-9630).UPC: 785147963004. English. Text Source: Vv.: James Quinn, SJ, 1919–2010, Ref.: Ephrem Feeley. Text by James Quinn.
In the Gospel of John, there are a number of times when Jesus uses the statement "I Am," which his followers would have automatically linked to the divine Name. Some of these statements - Christ as the Bread of Life, the Gateway, the Light of the World - are referenced in Quinn's text, as well as the Alpha and Omega, which is found three times in Revelation. A few of these statements also appear in the refrain. The verses may be sung by a cantor or the choir. There are a number of musically effective ways to use this piece in liturgy: with the full choir, as written, simply, with cantor and assembly, or with a two-part refrain, using only the soprano and tenor lines.
