    I am putting together the music for a Sung Mass (1962) on the Monday of Advent I; we are using the Sunday propers. I am aware that the FSSP and LMS Ordo specify the Alleluia and Verse to be omitted in this case.

    A friend of mine, not particularly attached to the Old Mass, but of sufficient vintage and musical involvement to remember it well, volunteered that this was so when I told him about the upcoming Mass. So I am very confident that this omission ought to be made.

    However, I am in the midst of a particularly unpleasant political situation, and have a few people that I think might be "out to get me" on some technicality. I would really feel much more comfortable if I knew exactly where in the Rubrics this omission is specified. Many thanks in advance for help.

    The Missale Romanum 1962 can be downloaded in .pdf from the CMAA site here.

    The rubric you are looking for is on p. 2, and says:

    ¶ In feriis Adventus, quando per hebdomadam adhibetur Missa de dominica, non dicitur Allelúia, nec versus sequens, sed tantum graduale.

    This rubric is also found in the Graduale, right after the end of the Communio for the First Sunday of Advent.
