    My Antiphonale Romanum II distinguishes between Major Solemnities (Christmas, Epiphany, Ascension) and Other Solemnities. Which are which? Where does Corpus Christi fall?

    I suspect it's referring to the first two lines in the order of precedence in category I; Corpus Christi falls further below:

    1. Easter Triduum of the Lord's passion and resurrection.

    2. Christmas, Epiphany, Ascension, and Pentecost.
    Sundays of Advent, Lent, and the Easter season.
    Ash Wednesday.
    Weekdays of Holy Week from Monday to Thursday inclusive,
    Days within the octave of Easter.

    3. Solemnities of the Lord, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and saints listed in the General Calendar.
    All Souls.

    4. Proper solemnities...
