    We're planning on it as the hymn for Compline on the 3rd Sunday of Easter at our Episcopal Parish.

    We do it every year.
    We actually sang it at daily mass yesterday.

    We sing it for easter (day mass) and any mass within the octave.

    It is significant that before the council, the first Sunday after Easter was known as "Low Sunday," but in the reform afer the council, the Octave of Easter was made a most significant octave; thus the liturgy prescribes that elements from Easter are repeated, including Victimae Paschali laudes and Ite missa est alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

    Dr. Mahrt,

    It is significant, but what signification should we draw from it?

    Yes we sang it at all the Sung Masses throughout the Octave (Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday). In some years past when the budget allowed it we had Sung Masses every day of the Octave - hopefully next year again.

    "Low Sunday", maybe only as compared to the brilliant light of glory in Easter, yes?
    I believe it is also called Dominica in Albis...

    Our abbey sang it on Easter Sunday and Sunday of the Octave. Throughout the Octave, they alternated between the gradual Haec Dies and the sequence (on the weekday they did one, they did not do the other).
