The Glory of these 40 Days
Lord, Who Throughout These 40 Days

What I had suggested was:

The Glory of These 40 Days
Where Charity and Love Prevail
Shepherd of Souls
Attende Domine
What Wondrous Love Is This

I was at least happy to hear The Glory of These 40 Days. The chants from the Papal Mass were beautiful. I just wished that they had chanted the Attende Domine like they had done in years past.

@Steve Collins:

Just so you know, there's an error in that Parce Domine you posted. The antiphon should say "Parce populo tuo" (spare your people), not "Parce populo suo" (spare his people).

My "Parce Domine" had a mistake in it. I've revised and replaced it in the comment above.

Here too we "rised from Aaaaaashes to make ourselves anew" and later we "lived our dream"......can't remember the rest it was too bad!
Ordinary was not sung "because of Lent"....(we usually have the Mass of creation......so that was actually an improvement!). There is still a lot of work to do!!!!!

Robert, during Lent there is to be no instrumental music. The organ (or any other instrument, for that matter) should be played only to sustain the music.

"Ordinary was not sung "because of Lent"." Oy! Bad enough that we're "half-Massed" though elimination of the Propers, but now they want to get rid of the Ordinary too? Get a storefront and crank up the guitars!
B-gal...there's a fine musician I know at a cathedral who gives the following argument for organ postludes during Lent: that he can play something somber that will cause people to shut up and listen , or he can play nothing and have them talk on the way out: which is more reverent? He's got a point there, but personally I'm a "do the red" kind of guy, and still think the organ should shut up. Actually, I'd get rid of the "support the singing" loophole; it would change the repertoire immensely.

"This is at an otherwise orthodox parish."

Well that doesn't surprise me at all. Orthodox and bad music can go together a lot of the time from what I've seen. The music ends up being more an issue of bad taste and sensibilities (even though you have church documents pointing to chant, et al, I don't really see the Mass of Creation as being inherantly contrary to the documents, except for the text additions in the Agnus Dei.)

dvalerio

Beautiful example of a Roman Rite liturgical repertoire !

>dvalerio: Kyrie: none, of course; it is ommitted on this day as per the rubrics

I've plenty to learn yet, but where did I miss this? LU is silent, GM mentions Gloria only.

It's very tricky, but the GIRM seems to separate the Act of Penitence and Kyrie in its paragraphs.

"III. THE INDIVIDUAL PARTS OF THE MASS

A. THE INTRODUCTORY RITES

46. The rites preceding the Liturgy of the Word, namely the Entrance, Greeting, Act of
Penitence, Kyrie, Gloria, and Collect, have the character of a beginning, introduction, and
preparation.

The Act of Penitence

51. Then the priest invites those present to take part in the Act of Penitence, which, after a
brief pause for silence, the entire community carries out through a formula of general confession.
The rite concludes with the priest’s absolution, which, however, lacks the efficacy of the
Sacrament of Penance.

On Sundays, especially in the Season of Easter, in place of the customary Act of Penitence, from
time to time the blessing and sprinkling of water to recall Baptism may take place.56

The Kyrie Eleison

52. After the Act of Penitence, the Kyrie is always begun, unless it has already been included
as part of the Act of Penitence. Since it is a chant by which the faithful acclaim the Lord and
implore his mercy, it is ordinarily done by all, that is, by the people and with the choir or cantor
having a part in it.

As a rule, each acclamation is sung or said twice, though it may be repeated several times, by
reason of the character of the various languages, as well as of the artistry of the music or of other
circumstances. When the Kyrie is sung as a part of the Act of Penitence, a trope may precede
each acclamation."

OF Mass in Latin:
Proper introit, gradual, tract, offertory, and communion in Latin Gregorian chant.
Mass XVIII: Kyrie, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei
At the imposition of ashes: Peñalosa, Inter vestibulum
After the offertory chant: Rivafrecha, Anima mea liquefacta est
After the communion chant: LaRue, O salutaris hostia
After the dismissal: Lassus, Miserere mei

"Omittitur actus paenitentialis, cuius locum tenet impositio cinerum." Mark, which book is this from? I guess I see some logic, but if this really applied to the Kyrie one might expect a note in the choirbooks.
