Or Adam Bartlett's chants here?
Why would someone sing the Subvenite in the place where the Libera me belongs?
In the new rite, the Subvenite has been moved from the entrance into the Church to the Final Commendation at the end of Mass. the Libera Me is not found in the 1974 Graduale Romanum; evidently it is no longer part of the funeral liturgy.
...
Lamb of God (§ 153)
COMMUNION SONG (§153)
Invitation to Prayer --- Final Commendation
Silence
[Signs of Farewell]
SONG OF FAREWELL (§156)
Prayer of Commendation
Psalms -- Procession to place of Committal
The Libera me is on p.696 of GR, still (as an option) for the Final Commendation and Farewell
That's a different Libera me... The Libera me, which begins "Libera Me, Domine, de morte aeterna" is excluded from the reformed Roman liturgy.
“another suitable song"
Bugnini's famous quote about weaponized ambiguity and "knowing beforehand how we would interpret the documents afterwards" comes to mind...I am so glad we have this. With it we can program anything, anywhere at any time!
Go in peace, God be with you
Go in peace, be at rest
With the saints and the angels.
Now you are free.
Go in peace.
See, the Father is waiting
With a robe of white, purest white.
Go and feast at his table
With the bread of life, bread of life
Lift your heart, rejoice and sing for you are home;
Home at last and forever in the arms of the holy one.
48. Peragitur autem a schola et populo alternatim, vel simili modo a cantore et populo, vel totus a populo vel a schola sola. Adhiberi potest sive antiphona cum suo psalmo in Graduali romano vel in Graduali simplici exstans, sive alius cantus, actioni sacræ, diei vel temporis indoli congruus,55 cuius textus a Conferentia Episcoporum sit approbatus.
The text is still not perfectly clear, since the punctuation of the Latin shows that it both suited to the action (eg an offertory procession) and adapted to the character of the day or the season (a green Sunday, or your solemnity of title).48.This chant is sung alternately by the choir and the people or similarly by a cantor and the people, or entirely by the people, or by the choir alone. In the dioceses of England and Wales the Entrance Chant may be chosen from among the following: the antiphon with its Psalm from the Graduale Romanum or the Graduale Simplex, or another chant that is suited to the sacred action, the day, or the time of year,55 and whose text has been approved by the Conference of Bishops of England and Wales.
Many theological and doctrinal problems with this text.
There’s a reason imprimaturs used to be a thing, and the rubrics do mention “approved by the local ordinary or conference of bishops”, so technically, they should decide, although arguably it’s probably a good thing they are as impotent as they are these days… what little they do agree on tends to be pretty vapid, God bless them.Who decides if anything is “suitable” or not?
Well, to me it’s as clear as mud in a clay pot floating in a pit of molten lava somewhere on a moon circling Saturn being blown into space by pressures still not identified by science. Hence the term, nebula, otherwise known as “star nurseries”.The text is still not perfectly clear
