The Issac Communions as the refrain, the chant verses from the relevant psalm.

Well we do have an obligation to hear (attend) Mass, although some modern clergy imply it is now only optional.

So I go to fulfil my obligation to hear Mass, and the Church is full a…

@Benton Any priest who feels so inclined could choose to not follow the rubrics of the ‘62 or ‘55 missal. He could choose to celebrate versus populum. The TLM is celebrated ad orientem, in a number …

We still have the problem that the same N.O. Missal used in the London Oratory, can be also be used as part of a balloon mass, or giant puppet mass. While you do have the GIRM, the number of options …

Sing Matins as traditionally, and then see if there is time to sing a carol or two before Mass.

@Palestrina,

Issac based his settings on the chant, so we regularly find the chant melody buried in the Polyphony. For the intonation it does vary what voice part is used for the Amen…

We do this a lot of the time, including today, with the Amen dico vobis.

We have had the dawn Mass occasionally, mostly as a low Mass, but many years ago we would sing it in a chapel, and then go straight to our Parish Church to sing the day Mass.
N.B. EF of course.

I would still prefer a Graduale and a Vesperale. I can't imagine why they need to be combined into one book.
