How about mixing these two up?

I'm way too excited about this...

Good point, Chris.

As it's nearly Advent, I want to re-raise a question I've posed in other contexts.

Whether we discuss Verdi's Requiem, Orlando Gibbons' This is the Record of John, Allegri's Miserere, Spem in Alium or anything similar, I find the same question continues to come up, at least in my mind: what is the proper place for stuff like this, when clearly an ordinary Mass, even in the EF, isn't the right time or place. Could Catholics find a place for This is the Record of John -- one of my favorite pieces of all time, in case you can't tell ?

What I keep coming back to as an answer is this: the life of the Church is liturgical, but not merely limited to Mass and the Divine Office. Surely there must be a place for some of this. Public processions..... Anniversaries of great tragedies.....something equivalent to a feast (i.e., meal) on the feast of our parish's patron saint.

Is part of the reason why people keep putting music in inappropriate places that the appropriate ones are too well hidden, or banished to the attic like a batty aunt?

"This is the Record of John" is a favourite of mine, too. But I've only done it in concert & Anglican services. I like Liam's idea, though.

Our music director always uses "Lo How a Rose" on Advent III - - presumably in honor of the rose vestments? I'm just always happy that me and my violin are sitting out Advent (even though the guitar still strums along happily).

I see nothing wrong with offering an anthem such as Chris has in mind at the offertory of an OF mass. If the priest is willing, there is nothing wrong with stretching out the offertory to accomodate such music. It is, indeed, a travesty that such music must be overlooked because it runs a minute or two or three beyond the liturgically alloted space. The offertory is just the right time to offer the celebration's finest musical ornament; and, ideally, every principal Sunday mass should be graced with just such an ornament. The only people who could object would be those craven folk who already think of music, not as integral to liturgy, but as a dispensable additive.

Well, you are, of course, right: one has somewhat more leeway in the OF than in the EF. In the OF your anthems/motets may be either English or Latin. In the EF one is restricted to Latin. There is no shortage of feast-specific Latin anthems and motets that one could offer. If one wishes to do one that takes five-seven-or-so minutes instead of three or four, a consultation with the celebrant may result in him really 'taking his time' praying and censing, etc., at the offertory. It doesn't seem to me that this should be objectionable.

About Latin at NO masses. I think most here know that I believe strongly that The Mass (The Entire Ritual of The Mass) should be in one language, whether it is English, Latin, Polish, Latvian, Nipponese, or Urdu. My own inconsistency is to countenance Latin anthems or motets at English masses. What is the logic here? The Mass, consisting of propers, ordinary, readings, and orations - that is, the entire ritual of the mass should be in one consistent language. Offertory anthems, motets, and such are non-ritual ornaments which may be in another language than the ritual one. Some would say that this is nit-picking (and I won't argue with them), but I believe that it makes sense. Furthermore, I really, somewhat strongly, believe that, even on great solemnities, all the ordinary should be sungen by the people and no Latin or elaborate settings should take their place. Complex and beauteous choral settings should be for the choir to offer as choral propers and as anthems (and, of course, descants). There is sense to this logic. And, a consistent respect for the correct roles of people, choir, servers, and clerics at every mass.

Now I get to your 'other settings'. I'm not at all one to comment on EF affairs. I think, though, that a good bit of the repertory you have in mind might be offered as 'prelude' music (though I really don't care for 'choral' preludes); it could perhaps be sung during processions; at any para-liturgical events; at more or less formal devotional services; in concerts spirituelle; at any time, really, at which sacred choral music would be appropriate, providing it wasn't within an act of EF ritual. Others may feel free to correct me on any of this.
