    Hello all! Just a quick question on behalf of my associate pastor. Does music exist out there, to your knowledge, to the text of the Gradual for the Requiem Mass, in English? It is quite apparent that in many cases the congregation doesn't sing the response, so it all ends up sounding quite ridiculous. The parish isn't ready for a Latin Gregorian Chant, but he was just curious about the English text to the Gradual.

    Thanks!

    It's in the Palmer/Burgess Gradual, from All Souls Day----text for the Gradual is the same as a Requiem Mass.

    There's also By Flowing Waters which would have an English version of the simple Gradual.

    I do not know how well it fits the Requiem Mass but the Lumen Christi Missal has a setting Mass for the Dead on page 991
