Psalm 96: “Go out to all the world and teach all nations alleluia.” (YouTube Playlist)
Litany of Supplication (modified Litany of Saints) (video)
Antiphon for the Handing on of the Book of the Gospels (video)
Antiphon for the “Fraternal Kiss” (video)
Offertory Anthem: More Love to Thee, O Christ. (playlist)
Offertory Hymn: time permitting, we will sing a special diaconate-specific text to the tune of the Veni Creator (video)
Sanctus & Agnus Dei: Missa XVIII (simple gregorian, in LATIN)
Mysterium Fidei: ICEL / Missal version, in Latin.
Communion Antiphon: “The Son of Man did not come to be served…” arr. JJR. (video)
Communion Hymn 1: Symbolom 77 (video)
Communion Hymn 2: Anima Christi by Marco Frisina (video)
Recessional Hymn:Lift High the Cross to CRUCIFER. (video)
*NB: after two of the verses, we will sing the refrain in Spanish!
Gloria: Missa VIII (‘de Angelis’)
Note: Just as at the Chrism Mass, we will sing it with more energy than this (and a faster tempo) but this is a good practice track in terms of being very clear, with each phrase is easy to hear and digest. We will also sing in alternatim with the congregation; that is: we will sing every other phrase as a choir alone, with the congregation responding on the next phrase.
