Proper chants for the Ordinary-Form Confirmation Mass
December 15, 2009 by — 2 comments.
Today for the first time ever, I was asked to provide input on music for a Confirmation Mass. This particular Mass is to be held at St. Ignatius on May 8, 2010.
Not knowing if there was music specifically for this Mass, I referred to the 1974 Graduale Romanum. Sure enough, on page 644 one can [...]

When parishes employ a Gregorian chant setting of the Gloria, almost invariably it is the Gloria VIII “de Angelis”. While they [...]

This was posted by user “Chrism” in the MusicaSacra Forum. I have added a few more boldface emphases:
Today happens to be the 218th anniversary of the Papal Encyclical Quod Aliquantum of Pius VI, to Cardinal Rochefoucauld and the bishops of the National Assembly of France, March 10, 1791, on the subject of the infamous Civil [...]

On chanting by heart, from the heart
