Note that the Simplex, while licit, proposes different proper texts (even for the traditional Roman rite!) from those in the Missals and regular Graduales. This may be something of a barrier to adop…

It may be added that from 1955 (and so in the 1962 Missal) liturgical observation of most of the octaves was abandoned. Thus these two Sundays are not called Sundays in the Octave, in the 1962 Missal…

Unfortunately Chaumonot’s question is ambiguous in at least two ways (“can” : may, or able? “you” : anyone, or a cantor at Mass, and if at Mass then when?)

At the risk of taking this thread into the weeds, I admit:

Of course, @Francis, no individual faithful is required to sing. But in the Novus rite, it's clear from the rubrics, from many writings, and from the rite’s short tradition, that congregational …
