Mass Ordinary for Christmas Vigil Mass
I cited Dr. Kwasniewski's article in consideration of what he says about the chanting of the Mass ordinary. Given my own particular experience with a usus antiquior community, I think it is optimistic at best to discuss congregational singing …

Mass Ordinary for Christmas Vigil Mass
a_f_hawkins, While it would be easy to get into the weeds on this, it is fairly simple when one considers that there is no wrong answer. The basic principle behind this would be to keep the Vigil as the Vigil and the Night Mass as the Night Mass. …

Mass Ordinary for Christmas Vigil Mass
I have another question on this topic of the appropriate Gregorian chant Mass ordinary for the Christmas Vigil Mass. In considering everything that has already been discussed in the context of Mass according to the Roman Missal of 1962 (the usus an…

Mass Ordinary for Christmas Vigil Mass
a_f_hawkins, I would say that precludes Mass XVIII on a Sunday, even though the Mass is not of the Sunday, the Vigil outranks the Sunday. I am leaning towards agreeing with your above quote. Thank you for pointing out Page 74* of the 1961 Gradual…

Mass Ordinary for Christmas Vigil Mass
tomjaw, Did you mean to say "When Christmas eve is a Sunday it will be Mass of the 4th Sunday of Advent"? When using the Roman Missal of 1962, which is part of the context of my question, it will actually be the Christmas Vigil Mass taki…

Mass Ordinary for Christmas Vigil Mass
a_f_hawkins, I didn't realize that some Vigil Masses other than the Easter Vigil take place later in the day than morning, or that there is a distinction of placing a Vigil Mass after Terce versus after Nones. Can you explain further or poin…

Mass Ordinary for Christmas Vigil Mass
Chris, My question is definitely not about any Masses at or after Midnight on December 25. The Mass ordinary used then would be neither Missa XVII nor Missa XVIII. This question solely pertains to a Vigil Mass celebrated on December 24. The ques…

Missa de Angelis with Handbell Accompaniment
Handchimes would also work well. I'm not sure what you mean by "after each of the 9". Do you mean the nine notes sung on the "e-" of "eleison"?

Missa de Angelis with Handbell Accompaniment
Thanks for the example of handbell accompaniment for In Paradisum. I appreciate the effort there, but I don't believe it makes sense to play each note of the melody unless the piece is meant to be instrumental only. I hear someone chanting in…

Missa de Angelis with Handbell Accompaniment
In addition to Noel Jones' example, there are other examples of handbell chant accompaniments, including the Gloria from Congregational Mass (John Lee; arranged by Richard Proulx) and the Chant Glory to God from Missa Ubi Caritas (Bob Hurd). I…

Kyrie when Penitential Rite is omitted?
Ben Yanke, you're right, it's not complicated. So according to your requirement that the Kyrie must be specifically mentioned in order to admit it, you are in fact being inconsistent when you do not play a Kyrie after the Rite of Blessing…

Kyrie when Penitential Rite is omitted?
Andrew, I see no mention of the Collect in Appendix II. Please cite your source. And you have restated what I said above, that the Kyrie is not at all mentioned in Appendix II. Therefore, for the one who requires specific textual reference to om…

Kyrie when Penitential Rite is omitted?
Adam Wood, I didn't say they are not two different things, nor did the USCCB. The USCCB provided guidance on how to interpret the phrase "the Penitential Act is omitted" in the propers for various Masses, and why the Kyrie is not alw…

Kyrie when Penitential Rite is omitted?
Ben Yanke, when you include the Rite for Blessing and Sprinkling of Water during Mass, do you sing a Kyrie following the Rite? Nowhere in the rubrics of Appendix II does it say that the Kyrie is omitted. It only says the Gloria is sung following t…

Paul, where can I find the "Te Laudamus Domine", and is an English version available? I should have specified that English is preferable.

Alleluia Verses for Ordinary-form Wedding Masses
Hello Aristotle, I realize this is an older discussion thread, but I just happened upon it and find it very useful. Is there any chance you can post a similar resource using the triple Alleluia for the Missa pro Sponsis from the Graduale Simplex?

Litany of the Saints and All Saints Day and All Souls Day Masses
Jahaza, thank you for such a cogent explanation of why the Litany of the Saints is inappropriate at both Entrance and Universal Prayer. I am quite convinced that it is inappropriate to preface or replace the Universal Prayer with the Litany of the …

Litany of the Saints and All Saints Day and All Souls Day Masses
Oh Adam, resorting to name-calling now are we? Why don't you find something better to do with your time? It seems you've wandered far into the forest, to quote your own cliché, in this conversation about a serious liturgical matter in wh…

Litany of the Saints and All Saints Day and All Souls Day Masses
Adam Wood, if a self-described "progressive/liberal and sometimes 'heretic' " calls me an amateur rubricist, I'll take that as a huge compliment. So much is obviously wrong with your advice to do what I think is allowed and…

Dr Ford, My post originated after my reading of past posts at http://forum.musicasacra.com/forum/discussion/2595/litany-of-the-saints-for-all-saints-day/p1 where you say that "The solemn litany IS appropriate, either as the entrance rite or…
