(Roman Missal 3rd Edition)

with the English and Latin texts compared and notated

The purpose of this little booklet is to provide a resource for clergy who wish to compare the Latin and English sung texts of the Ordinary of the Mass in the modern Roman Rite, or who wish to introduce more Latin into their English celebrations. While the English chants are relatively new, they are based on the ancient Latin models. It may be useful, or at least interesting, to compare these chants directly.

For the sake of brevity, not every licit option for the Mass is to be found here. In all cases, a single option has been exercised: the first option listed in the Missal. The Latin chants of the Ordinary are likewise limited to a single option, the Missa Jubilate Deo, as this setting is both the simplest and the most familiar to English congregations.
