Latin Mass Chants
During the Penitential Season of Lent, St. Anthony’s will be singing the Latin chants of the Mass.
One of the most common misconceptions following the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s is that Latin and chant music was no longer necessary. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. According the, Sacrosanctum concilium, or Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy:
116. The Church acknowledges Gregorian chant as specially suited to the Roman liturgy: therefore, other things being equal, it should be given pride of place in liturgical services.
But other kinds of sacred music, especially polyphony, are by no means excluded from liturgical celebrations, so long as they accord with the spirit of the liturgical action, as laid down in Art. 30.
To this end, we will be singing the Latin chants during our liturgical celebrations during the season of Lent. During a time of cleansing, penance, and renewal, the Latin chants bring us back to our roots as Roman Catholics. To better help you in participating in the liturgy, here are YouTube tutorials on how to sing these chants.
The Kyrie is what we sing during the Penitential Rite at the beginning of Mass. Contrary to popular belief, the Kyrie is actually in Greek.
The Sanctus is the “Holy, Holy, Holy.”
The Mysterium fidei is the Mystery of Faith.
The Agnus Dei is the Lamb of God.
