The question asked by this previous post has been answered. And it is a victory for charitable creativity and online sharing of musical settings of the new Mass Ordinary in English…and potentially more.

Jeffrey Tucker has chronicled his exchange with ICEL regarding his question of posting musical settings of the new English translation of the Ordinary of the Mass: I know of 10 composers who have already worked on new settings of the new Mass text.

Missa tribus vocibus (Christoph Dalitz, 1988)

German composer Christoph Dalitz, who discovered my recent composition on CPDL and wrote to compliment me for it (thank you!), penned his Missa tribus vocibus (Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus/Benedictus, Agnus Dei) twenty years ago for SAB a cappella choir in a Cecilian style.
