I am using the Kyrie from Missa Verbum Caro (from the St. Michael Hymnal). The music is available online: http://www.stmichaelhymnal.com/NewEdition/MassParts.aspx

There is also a recording of it: http://www.stmichaelhymnal.com/NewEdition/MissaVerbumCaroRecordings.aspx

Hello! I wrote this one a few years back; it's served a few parishes well. Use and copy it freely. I just write in my own verses in my own writing. (If you want that with this year's verses, just shoot me a message.)

Let me know if you use it; I'd like to hear how it goes. :)

P.S. I second WittMan's endorsement of the 'Missa Verbum Caro'. If not for political issues we'd be using the entire Mass Ordinary.

Thank you for all your choices. I'm leaning towards the following Kyrie from Jubilate Deo Chant mode III.

What are other music directors thoughts of this Kyrie from jubilate Deo? Does your congregation have a hard time with the final Kyrie? I kinda like that specific Kyrie though!

Still can't find a decent gospel acclamation though!

Why not use the suggested one ("Kyrie salve") from the graduale? All six (or 9...) eleisons are the same pretty much: easy to learn. Somewhat more sprightly than the ferial one in Jubilate Deo.

Another option is to simply omit the final variant eleison and sing it like the others, at least until it is more familiar. More digestible perhaps.

Andrew's suggestion is also a good one. When we sing missa di angelis it works the same way, the choir/cantor intones and the people respond with the same eleison each time. Not the proper way of splitting the repeats, but it works.

I'm going to try the orbis factor kyrie and Gospel acclamation this year, but in years past we have used a Gospel Acclamation based on Wondrous Love by Pishner (GIA). People sang that one quite well.

Since Lent 2021 is coming up, I've been searching the forum for settings of the Lenten Gospel acclamation. There are fantastic options here (in this and other forum threads). I especially like yours, Jacob, and plan to use it.
