I am eager to introduce a new mass setting to the parish. We will be swapping out the Mass of Braodway from Age to Age to Mass in A minor by Frederick Strassburger by Lit. Press. It is a through composes Gloria. I am playing with the idea of introducing only the Eucharistic responses for the first Month and before using the new through composes Gloria at mass.

I appreciate feedback on whether this approach makes sense or to bite the bullet all at once. I will say, once the congregation picks up a song they like, they sing with gusto. I had to last minute cover for a cantor last week and had an awful time singing with my allergies; the congregation kept going when I stopped to cough.
