Liturgical Hints & Ideas

During Ordinary Time in Year B we will highlight passages from the new General Instruction on the Roman Missal (GIRM) that pertain to music during the liturgy. The GIRM contains rubrics and instructions (some of them new) for the celebration of the Mass. The first section below is a direct quote from the English translation of the document. The second section is a commentary on the passage.

Structure, Elements and Parts of the Mass: Gloria (GIRM #53)

The Gloria in excelsis (Glory to God in the highest) is a most ancient and venerable hymn by which the Church, gathered in the Holy Spirit, glorifies and entreats God the Father and the Lamb. The text of this hymn may not be replaced by any other. It is intoned by the Priest or, if appropriate, by a cantor or by the choir; but it is sung either by everyone together, or by the people alternately with the choir, or by the choir alone. If not sung, it is to be recited either by everybody together or by two choirs responding one to the other.

It is sung or said on Sundays outside Advent and Lent, and also on Solemnities and Feasts, and at particular celebrations of a more solemn character.

Commentary: There are various ways to sing the Gloria, which may be begun by the priest, cantor or choir.

The entire congregation may sing a simple or elaborate setting.
The choir and people may alternate phrases of the Gloria, as is common in the chant Masses sung at Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome.
The choir may sing a Gloria alone.

Mozart wrote several Mass settings for the Archbishop of Salzburg called Missa brevis (because they were short and concise). The Gloria from any of these might make a wonderful choral setting to use for a special liturgy.

New in the 2000 GIRM: Note that the Gloria is sung or said in these Ritual Masses, even if they occur during Lent:

I-3. For the Conferral of Baptism
I-4. For the Conferral of Confirmation
IV. For the Conferral of Holy Orders
V. For the Celebration of Marriage
VI. For the Blesing of an Abbot or an Abbess
VII. For the Consecration of Virgins
VIII. For Religious Profession
X. For the Dedication of a Church and an Altar

Further, many of these call for the omission of the Penitential Act.

To be continued next Sunday...
