Sheet music: Tu es Petrus
Tu es Petrus,
et hanc super Petram aedificabo Ecclesiam meam.
et portae inferi non praevalebunt adversus eam,
et tibi dabo claves regni caelorum.
“Thou art Peter,
and upon this rock I shall build my Church,
and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it,
and I shall give to thee the keys to the kingdom of Heaven.”

The setting by Durufle is thrilling. A short motet akin to an acclamation. Oh, oh, an acclamation has to be sung by everyone (just kidding).
an acclamation has to be sung by everyone (just kidding).
No problem; we can do that as well. You will find the antiphon of page 41 of your Jubilate Deo. You know, the common repertoire of Catholic congregations around the world. My copies are at home, but it should also be in The St. Michael Hymnal, which has all the Jubilate Deo chants in it.
The St. Michael Hymnal 581, between “To Jesus Christ, our sovereign King” and “Ubi caritas.”
Don’t forget the setting by Charles Widor. A Mighty slab of Gallic organ mass, making use of much unison singing and the best efforts of M. Cavaille-Colle. Like the world’s largest Roquefort. A glorious and a fittingly monolithic setting for a monolithic text.
