Liturgical Hints & Ideas

During Ordinary Time in Year B we will highlight passages from the 2010 General Instruction on the Roman Missal (GIRM) that pertain to music during the liturgy. The GIRM contains rubrics and instructions (some of them surprising) for the celebration of the Mass. The first section below is a direct quote from the document. The second section is a commentary on the passage.

The Different Forms of Celebrating Mass (GIRM #147) — Liturgy of the Eucharist

… The people, for their part, should associate themselves with the Priest in faith and in silence, as well as by means of their interventions as prescribed in the course of the Eucharistic Prayer: namely, the responses in the Preface dialogue, the Sanctus (Holy, Holy, Holy), the acclamation after the Consecration, the acclamation Amen after the concluding doxology, as well as other acclamations approved by the Conference of Bishops with the recognitio of the Holy See.

Commentary: Music directors often go to great lengths in programming a grand processional, a perfect Gloria, an introspective Offertory anthem and a rousing Closing Song. How many music directors offer to work with the celebrant to learn music for the Eucharistic Prayer, the central liturgical prayer? There is music right in the Roman Missal for each of the four main Eucharistic Prayers. Other music, even more simple, can certainly be used to great effect. Please note: this music must be a cappella (without any accompaniment); this rubric [see GIRM #32] sets the Priest's prayer in high relief so everyone may listen with due attention. Organ (and guitars too) must be silent. This is not an operatic recitative.
