A fraction anthem is a text spoken or sung during the Christian rite of Holy Eucharist, at the point when the celebrant breaks the consecrated bread. The term is used commonly in the Episcopal Church in the United States of America. The term is an approximate translation of ''confractorium,'' a term borrowed from the Ambrosian Rite. The prayer book ''Common Worship: Services and Prayers for the Church of England'' published by The Archbishops’ Council in 2000 and now in wide use within the Church of England includes the following optional Fraction Anthem: :Eat this bread, drink this cup, :come to me and never be hungry. :Eat this bread, drink this cup, :trust in me and you will not thirst. The older Alternative Service Book published in 1980 lists two fraction anthems for Rite A, the Pascha Nostrum and the Agnus Dei. For Rite B only ''Christ our Passover'' (Pascha Nostrum) is listed, although the Agnus Dei is often used as well. However, in both rites other appropriate texts may be substituted. The Hymnal 1982 includes a rich palette of congregational settings of fraction anthems, ranging from traditional plainchant to settings by modern composers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fraction anthem」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
