Music and the 3rd Edition of the Roman Missal
New Prayers, Same Mass On the first Sunday of Advent 2011, Catholics throughout the United States and other English-speaking countries will worship using the new English translation of the Roman Missal, Third Edition. This is an opportunity for liturgical and spiritual renewal. Learning to pray with new words, we enter into the mystery of the Eucharist with greater awareness and appreciation.

The Role of Music in Liturgy Encourages the full, conscious and active participation of the congregation Lex orandi, lex credendi Music makes text more sacral Speaking versus chanting Reciting versus singing
How extensive are the musical changes? In a recent interview with Our Sunday Visitor, Father Richard Hilgartner, Associate Director of the US Bishop’s Secretariat for Divine Worship stated: “…of all the changes in the new missal, the people’s sung parts of the Mass are fairly minor and may actually be easier to adapt to than the spoken prayers.” “I think singing them will actually make it much easier to learn the new words, because they’ll be able to be taught tied to a melody.”

If you think YOU’VE got a lot to learn… While many of the people’s responses and some sung Mass parts are changing, the vast majority of the text modifications are in the priest’s parts Almost every text used by the priest has been revised Pray for them!
Singing a Revised Mass Setting Advantages: The melody is familiar Only need to learn new texts – not new melody
Disadvantages: You THINK you know what you’re singing…but you DON’T! Stumbling over unfamiliar texts in a familiar song

Singing a New Mass Setting Curtis Stephan’s Mass of Renewal or Dan Schutte’s Mass of Christ the Savior Entirely new, both in melody and text Treat them like learning any other new song No problems with knowing how it used to sound Both are OCP settings that will be in the 2012 Music Issue
At St. Anthony and Our Lady of the Hills, we will learn a new Mass setting – the Mass of Renewal, rather than a revised one May implement revised settings at some time in the future
Opportunity for Catechesis These changing Mass parts give us the opportunity to explore and understand the meaning and theology of why we sing what we sing Broadens the scope of our beliefs Positive experience that enhances the full, conscious and active participation of the congregation

The Gloria Has the most significant changes of all the sung Mass parts Refrain has some text changes Verse 1 has some text changes Verse 2 has major changes Verse 3 is exactly the same – no changes at all
Through-Gloria vs. Refrain Gloria While it makes sense to implement the New Roman Missal at the beginning of the church calendar year (first Sunday of Advent), this presented challenges with the Gloria, which is why we are now able to introduce musical changes in September
Sanctus/Holy Preface revisions are more extensive than the Holy itself Priest: The Lord be with you. People: And with your spirit. Priest: Lift up your hearts. People: We lift them up to the Lord. Priest: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. People: It is right and just.
The actual Mass part has very minimal revisions. Current text: Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of power and might… Revised text: Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts…

The Mystery of Faith The Memorial Acclamation has been renamed in the revised texts and will be known as “The Mystery of Faith” Priest introduction is changing slightly Current text: “Let us proclaim the mystery of faith” Revised text: “The mystery of faith”
“Christ has died” acclamation will not be included in the new translation
Mystery of Faith Options We proclaim your Death, O Lord, and profess your Resurrection until you come again. When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup, we proclaim your Death, O Lord, until you come again. Save us, Savior of the world, for by your Cross and Resurrection you have set us free.

Doxology After the second Eucharistic prayer, the priest sings the doxology and we respond by singing “Amen.” Amen will, of course, remain the same (though we will learn new melodies for it) Be prepared though, as the doxology (sung by the priest) has been revised Through him, and with him, and in him, O God, almighty Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is yours, forever and ever.
Embolism in the Our Father The words to the Our Father are, of course not changing; however, the Embolism spoken by the priest has been revised. In the new Mass setting, you will hear: “Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, graciously grant peace in our days, that, by the help of your mercy, we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ.”
The good news is that the ending (our cue!) remains the same
