• I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find a chart or document which indicates which Masses, Creeds, etc are indicated for seasons, feasts, etc.

    I know the basics but it would be nice to see something laid out and complete.

    The suggested assignments for each Mass in the Vatican Kyriale for the TLM are given in the following (1962 revisions in brackets).

    Some are based in long-standing practice (Masses I and IX), but you are probably aware that these are only suggestions, and that you are free to "mix and match" among the various parts of each mass: "This Ordinary is NOT meant to be a matter of hard and fast rule: chants from one Mass may be used together with those from others, the Ferial Masses [XVI and XVIII] excepted. In the same way, in order to add greater solemnity, one or more of the following 'Chants ad libitum' may be employed" (Liber Usualis, p. 78).

    I - Paschal Time
    II, III - Solemn feasts [1st class]
    IV - VIII - Doubles [2nd class]
    IX, X - Feasts of Our Lady
    XI - Sundays throughout the year
    XII, XIII - Semidoubles [3rd class]
    XIV - Within octaves, except of Our Lady [3rd class]
    XV - Simples [Commemorations and ferias of the Christmas season]
    XVI - Ferias thoughout the year [The Ite missa est may be used ad libitum for any mass]
    XVII - Sundays of Advent and Lent
    XVIII - Ferias of Advent and Lent, Vigils Days, Ember Days Rogation

    No assigments are given for the Credos, although a note at the end of Credo I states: "This is the authentic tone for the Credo, but the following tones may be used where it is customary."

    The 1974 Graduale has the following designations only:

    I - Paschal Time (with additional Kyries for Sundays and of Feasts and Memorials)
    IV - Feasts of the Apostles
    IX - Solemnities and Feasts of Our Lady
    X - Feasts and Memorials of Our Lady
    XI - Sundays throughout the Year
    XVI - Ferias throughout the year
    XVII - Sundays of Advent and Lent
    XVIII - Weekdays of Advent and Lent, and Masses for the Dead (the latter having its own Kyrie)

    The note after Credo I above is retained.
  • Thanks this is what I was looking for, I had found it at one point but lost it somewhere along the line. God Bless you!
