    @Cantus67

    I did tell the server (assistant M.C.) that we would do Mass IX, but I think they got confused (as did the organist), of course the intonations for the Gloria and Credo are Mass VIII and Credo III. I will point out we only sing Mass VIII on Feasts of the Angels that are not I Class! and Credo III is effectively banned here.

    N.B. Our Organist directs the new rite choir at the Mass before us, and assumed that it would be the Advent Benedicamus... The transformation of the Sanctuary from the subdued II Sunday of Advent (N.O.) to our Feast was a joy to behold!

    Mass VIII and Credo III (sometime subtitled 'de Angelis) have two problems,
    1. They are relatively modern (if you believe the dates given)

    2. Too many people do them all the time, can we please have a variety.

    We do Mass VIII on feasts of the Angels that are not first class, but Credo III is effectively banned (We do I, II, IV and VI and two soon to be three polyphonic settings) There is such a thing as too much variety.
