The Communion Antiphon (Graduale Romanum Chant Proper):
Ecce virgo concipiet, et patrist filium: et vocabitur nomen
eius Emmanuel (Behold, a Virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and his name shall be called Emmanuel).


Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) planned a set of 164 chorale
preludes which included a set of four for Advent; "Nun Komm,
der Heiden Heiland" (BWV 599) is the German equivalent of our
Processional Hymn (#200).
