Structure, Elements and Parts of the Mass: Communion (GIRM #86)

During the priest's reception of communion, the communion song is begun. Its function is to express outwardly the communicants' union in spirit by means of the unity of their voices, to give evidence of joy of heart and to highlight more the "communitarian" character of the communion procession. The song continues while the Sacrament is being ministered to the faithful. But the communion song should be ended in good time whenever there is to be a hymn after communion.

Care must be taken that cantors are also able to receive communion conveniently.

Commentary: Communion time is always very difficult to program musically. Ideally, an antiphon/verse-type song should begin as soon as the celebrant receives communion. It should continue during the procession of the faithful to receive communion. If there is a "hymn after communion" (itself an awkward piece), the processional music should be ended "in good time" so these two songs don't back one against the other. I can find no benefit in singing a Communion Hymn followed immediately by a "Meditation" Hymn. This is atypical of Roman liturgy, where two like things don't follow one another (think readings separated by music, Eucharistic Prayer differentiated by posture).

Unless one uses the antiphon/verse style, it is hard to start a congregational hymn at the beginning of communion -- people are not focused on a hymnal or liturgy sheet. The difficulty found in trying to wedge a standard "hymn" structure into this moment is further evidence of Roman rite's wisdom in calling for the Communion Antiphon (as found in the Sacramentary).
