Just crickets and silence in Columbus, Ohio so far...

Diocese of Charleston (SC) says September as well. I suspect school music directors and teachers may have had some influence over this decision, since they won't want to have to change horses midstream on the music.

Nothing so far from the Diocese of Salt Lake City.

Permission granted for the Diocese of San Jose.

Nothing from the Diocese of Knoxville.

No word yet in Evansville, pending the ordination of Bishop Thompson this Wednesday.

I haven't received official word, but I believe the Archdiocese of Seattle will be allowing implementation in September.

Nary a word in Tucson.

Bobby, I'm working my connections and will report if I hear anything. I've heard nothing from Youngstown yet (Just checked their website) but I wouldn't, as I've been attending the EF Mass.

Cleveland is having a meeting this week to discuss it. Bp. Lennon is leaning towards early implementation, but nothing's been officially decided.

Mobile is doubtful. For some reason, there is resistance.

In Raleigh, the participants at a quickly-called meeting of about 30 musicians this past Wednesday were tasked with making recommendations for how to do the September incremental implementation. Our bishop will also take recommendations from the clergy and then make a decision, which we are hoping will be in favor of it.

Newark says yes.

The scoop from my mother-in-law in the Diocese of Orlando....

My Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

At my last meeting with my brother bishops in Seattle, Washington, we discussed the impending changes to the Roman Missal. We spoke of our desire to begin to address the musical aspects of these changes so our parishioners might become more at ease with the changes.

In light of this, when I returned from the meeting in Seattle, I met with representatives of the Diocesan Offices of Music and Liturgy to discuss the impact of these changes and how we might be better prepared. Recognizing the diverse needs and abilities of our parishes throughout the diocese, I recommend a short list of suggested musical settings which you will find below.

In order to facilitate implementation of the text, I encourage a selection of newly composed musical settings. While certain revised settings seem to support the new text well, using a musical setting already known by the parish could lead to confusion and slower learning of the new text. Musical implementation may begin in September, but is expected to be gradual:

As it has only minor changes, parishes should begin with the Holy, Holy.
Because of its length and more substantial changes, the Gloria should be introduced in October.
The new Mystery of Faith Acclamations should be introduced in November.
Other musical selections where the text has not been changed (Alleluia, Great Amen, or Lamb of God) may be introduced as best seems fit for the parish.
For diocesan celebrations where English is the primary language of celebration, Mass of Wisdom will be used.
In addition to new musical settings, I remind you that Latin chant may be a part of the parish repertoire:

“Each worshiping community in the United States, including all age groups and all ethnic groups, should, at a minimum, learn Kyrie XVI, Sanctus XVIII, and Agnus Dei XVIII, all of which are typically included in congregational worship aids. More difficult chants, such as Gloria VIII and settings of the Credo and Pater Noster, might be learned after the easier chants have been mastered.” (Sing to the Lord, 75)


Additional information will be distributed from the Offices of Music and Liturgy. If possible, a bulk order program for music will be arranged.

As always, I am grateful for your ministry in the Lord’s name.

The List of Recommended Settings:
ICEL Chant
Una Santa Fe - Krisman
Joy and Peace - Alonso
Storrington - Haugen
Renewal - Stephan
St. Paul, Apostle - Walker
Wisdon - Janco
St. Ann - Bolduc
St. Benedict - LeBlanc
---------------------------------


Some good, some bad here.
Their Diocesan default choice (Mass of Wisdom) is fantastic music, if pretty far from stylistic ideals. (That diocese will like it, though- it's a pretty "celebratory" crowd.)

Really wish that recommended list was... different.
But at least it's "recommended" and not "required."
Also glad to see my favorite Contemporary-styled setting on there. (Mass of St. Ann)

Love the Latin chant shout out.
Wish it said "should" instead of "may," but the quote from SttL is a good reference point, since the progressives generally like that document.

Found out last night at our choir's summer picnic the Diocese of Salt Lake City has granted permission for early implementation.

I could live with the simple harmonies, but why are *so* many of these "mainstream" settings in such sing-songy 6/8 meter?

As I look forward to retiring, I more and more have the attitude, "Take the money and keep quiet." Of course, I never manage the keep quiet part. At least we have three mass settings to choose from, and two of them are good.

I heard that, too. We see him twice a year, at most. Confirmation, and last year an event for the 50th anniversary of the pastor's ordination. Confirmation is not until next spring, so we may see him only once. I can live with Missa Luna infrequently. I will just surround it with lots of good chant.

In the opera world there are standard cuts, normal, 'rare not to follow them' cuts.

Manchester, NH - Permission granted for use in September.

Peter Kolar is a great snake oil salesman; I will give that to him. However, I would rather prefer the revised Gloria from A New Mass for a Congregation over Kolar's piece.

So far, nada from down here in South Texas. The bishop is still using an ilicit Spanish-language Gloria, especially at Diocesan liturgies.

The ICEL chant Gloria only takes about 90 seconds to sing, so this is twice as long, and the 20-second introduction would seem interminable for an ordinary Sunday celebration of Mass.

Archbishop Broglio (U.S. Military) has given permission for us to sing not only the entire new set of sung Ordinaries beginning in Sept., but has also given specific permission to use those chants without word changes (Lord, Have Mercy, Lamb of God, Our Father) before then...

I believe the Savannah diocese also has permission to begin singing the new Ordinaries in Sept.

All systems go for September implementation in the Diocese of Lincoln, Nebraska. At our parish, we will be using the Missal chants. Our pastor wants them to be accompanied at first (thanks to those on this forum who put together some lovely organ accompaniments) then move toward a cappella as the faithful get to know them better.

I just read this whole list, and I didn't see any examples of early implementation being required across the archdiocese - maybe we are alone? The archdiocese of Kansas City, Kansas is requiring early implementation in September, as well as a standard musical setting. This is the Mass of Christian Unity, which was apparently popular right after Vatican 2 with the transitional English translations. I had not seen it before, but it is decent - pretty middle-of-the-road (I would compare it to the Community Mass).
