It's also found in Chants of the Roman Missal, p.317, where parentheses around the noteheads make it a bit clearer that "(brothers and sisters)" is an option in place of "brethren" rather than a gloss given in an aside ;-)

What, Chris, "Dear brethren (submissa voce:) (bothers and sisters)"? Obviously not good. From a musical point of view the option has advantages, and I'm not interested in digressing into free choice in the wide.

Here are square note versions for 2022, the first made with the export function at https://editor.sourceandsummit.com/alpha/
the second, with proper hyphens, made with the 'legacy' interface. It would be interesting to compare run.gregoriochant.org, but I recall I had hyphen trouble last time.

Thanks to Caleferink for a good catch, corrected in the 2nd pdf.

My (first) guess is that the alpha interface is unhappy with the right margin (In fact a different tweek of parentheses is called for).

Richard: One note correction I see needs to be made: the last line - "...to whom is honor and glory for ever..." stays on la instead of moving back up to the reciting tone of do until the -er of "for ever...".

Is this a good thing?

No, it is a failure of Bugnini & Co in not adopting the Sarum use "Orate fratres et sorores ..."

Not jesting.

Mr Clark provides for 2022:

Unfortunately, some people claim that fratres is used exclusively in this particular context, they wish to exclude the laity from meum ac vestrum sacrificium.

" . . . and Lord help the Sister who comes between me and my Rite!"



(They can wear blue because it's allowed in Sarum)

Yes CGZ, just that. Within the last twelve months I have, twice at least, seen it asserted by some misguided persons that the request "Orate, fratres, ut meum ac vestrum sacrificium ..." is addressed only to clergy present as ministers or in choir.
