    If anybody has a Latin mass setting in modern notation, I'd appreciate it. My pastor just asked for it for Christmas Eve and my choir isn't strong at sight reading at all, so I'm beginning to panic a little. They cannot read neumes at all. Thanks for your help.

    If no one else sends one to you, contact me with a private message and give your e-mail address. I can scan the one I use and sent it to you.

    Do you mean a chant setting of the Ordinary? If so there is a Liber written in modern notation that can be downloaded.
    The first part of the Liber has all the chant Ordinaries:

    This what you're looking for? I can also add the latin for the memorial acclamation (Mortem Tuam) and repost if you want it.

    Jubilate Deo: View | Download

    You might also check your hymnal. Many have these same things somewhere in there.

    The Vatican II Hymnal has more settings in modern notation than the average parish could ever hope to master. Also translations of the full propers and side-by-side text and translation of the Mass in both the Forms. It's well worth the investment. As a practical matter, using it, I was able to do a worship sheet for Immaculate Conception that served for both the masses in English in the OF and the Missa Cantata in Latin in the EF. If you have to do your own secretarial work, it's a real time-saver.

    Um, okay. But maybe be prepared for some pushback for various reasons.
    Just saying.

    Some of those CCW public domain chant book links don't work, at least on the "sample page" links.

    My choir is not exactly a Schola Cantorum, so Jubilate Deo is the most recognizable to some of them and is the mass setting done in our big downtown church, where several people attend noon mass. God bless to those of you who have stellar choirs. My singers sing from the heart, if not from experience and training.

    Thanks for all the help.
