My music director planned out the music for Ordinary Time from now until August 28, 2012, and he's introducing the revised Mass of Creation. I was really hoping we weren't going to learn it, but that was wishful thinking.

At one of the parishes where I work, they continued on with the revised Mass of Creation. I've never been a fan of it, especially now that the Gloria is clumsy to sing. That said, the congregation is good singing-wise and they sing the entire thing. During Lent the music director introduced The Mass of St. Agnes by Mills which they also sang well.

During the Christmas season she introduced the Schubert Deutsche Messe. And most of the music during mass is tasteful and done well by both the congregation and the musicians. So, I can't complain about one mass setting I'm not crazy about. lol!

I haven't taught the Gloria in my parish yet, for that exact reason. The rest of the setting, we use for the summer, weddings, and funerals (when most visitors are here). The only other one I've taught so far is Haugen's "Storrington Mass" which went over very well.

We've also learned Schutte's Mass of Christ the Savior, and Alstott's revised Heritage Mass. They actually sound very nice, but we have been using the Schutte setting since the Easter Vigil, and this comiing Sunday is the last time we will hear it, fortunately because it got very tiring to sing the same setting week after week. We learned it last September and used it all the way until Lent and then from the Easter Vigil until this coming Sunday, so the congregation knows it really well.

We have gotten back into this Mass setting, including the Gloria, not that Lent and Easter have passed and we tread into ordinary time.

We have been using the ICEL chants from the Roman Missal.

superamazingman · #**762** Jun 14, '12, 7:10 am

We use simple english propers and the ICEL chants for all daily Masses when the cantor is there to lead.

I find the ICEL chants most uninspiring and I many in my congregation dislike them. I like Schubert's Deutsche Messe and Murray's A new people's mass best.

As much as I like the chants, the Schubert is my favorite congregational mass setting, especially when a choir sings along with the harmony. I've never heard the Murray. Admittedly, I'd really like to hear the chants in organum. My husband and I will do it for fun on car rides, etc. , but it would be nice to hear it at mass.

I agree that the Schubert setting is lovely in harmony. I think the Murray setting is one of the easiest to sing congregationally - I think it has been revised for the new translation. Another one that I forgot to mention is James MacMillan's St Anne's Mass - the Gloria and the Agnus Dei sung antiphonaly are lovely but the Sanctus is spectacular.
