    Gradual - Liber Brevior
    all other propers - full melodies, Liber Usualis


    Just to check, you know that with the Liber Brevior it is the liber itself that is brevior (by omitting a bunch of stuff) and not the chants themselves, right? The chants are all just the same as in the Liber Usualis.

    "Low Missa Cantata"

    ??


    The Missa Cantata is a species of low Mass. Historically speaking, it was invented by adding things (music, incense) to the low Mass to make it more beautiful, rather than subtracting things (deacon, subdeacon) from the high Mass to make it easier to do.

    Cathedral of Saint Joseph, Sioux Falls

    Prelude: Prelude in E flat Major ("St Anne") - Bach
    Entrance Hymn: Jesus Christ is Risen Today
    Sequence in Latin
    Offertory: Christ the Lord is Risen Today (+ SEP for incensation)
    Communion: SEP with Verses + At the Lamb's High Feast We Sing + Randall Thompson "Alleluia"
    Recessional/Postlude: Christus Vincit - Joseph Noyon/arr. Gerre Hancock

    I especially recommend the Christus Vincit - it is loud, easy to learn, festive and majestic IMHO. Sometimes it's just good for the choir to sing as loud as they can, and shoot for a high B flat in the soprano section.
