ST MATTHEW CATHOLIC CHURCH – 672 Temple Ave LONG BEACH, CA 90814

MUSIC FOR THE 7:00AM SUNDAY MASS

Shortcut to:

• practice the Ordinary: either hear-repeat (rote), or in solfege
• Sundays: Apr.28th, May 5th, May 12th, May 19th, May 26th,

The liturgical books for singing the Mass are called the Roman Missal and the Roman Gradual. These books differentiate three types of chant the Mass: the “Acclamations and dialogues” (ex: Greeting, Alleluia,..), the “Ordinary” (ex: Kyrie, Sanctus,..) and the “Proper”. The first two repeat often, so the congregation can easily join in singing them. They are the foundation of “active participation” at Mass.

The “Proper” consists of biblical texts sung at Entrance, between the readings, and during the Offertory and Communion processions. Their texts change at every mass. The proper can be done in a “responsorial” style so the congregation can participate as well.

SEE HOME PAGE for the ANTIPHON PROPER (Usually in English, Father Weber’s version)

What are antiphon propers? See explanation by the BREAKING BREAD director.
