    The passage describes different Gregorian chant mass settings and provides some context about their intended use and plainsong performance.

    Mass I (Lux et Origo), Mass IV (Cunctipotens genitor Deus), Missa de Angelis (VIII), Mass IX (Cum Jubilo), Mass XV (Orbis Factor), and Mass XVII are described along with details about when each is intended to be sung.

    The Kyrie, Sanctus, Benedictus and Agnus Dei from the Requiem Mass are the same as what is known as Mass XVIII, the Mass setting appropriate for Feria Days.

    Notes
    Arguably, Gregorian chant is best performed using the original plainsong notation, as
    this gives a greater freedom of expression and rubato than the modern stave.
    However, for those who find modern notation easier to read, particularly
    congregations, we felt it appropriate to supply copies of the Mass settings in modern
    notation.

    Mass I (Lux et Origo) is intended to be sung during Eastertide, Mass IV (Cunctipotens


    genitor Deus) on the Feasts of the Apostles. The Missa de Angelis (VIII) is for general
    use. Mass IX (Cum Jubilo) is for Solemnities and Feasts of Our Lady and Mass XV
    (Orbis Factor) on Sundays of Ordinary Time. Mass XVII is for Sundays of Advent
    and Lent.

    If a simple plainsong setting for the Mass is required for weekdays, then it is worth
    noting that the Kyrie, Sanctus, Benedictus and Agnus Dei from the Requiem Mass
    are the same as what is known as Mass XVIII, the Mass setting appropriate for Feria
    Days.

    There are no "hard and fast rules" about performing plainsong. The suggested pitches
    are suggestions only. The pitch should suit the voices and should be altered as
    appropriate. Choir directors should also take a flexible approach towards the rhythm
    as notated.

    Plainsong notation copies of these Masses may be bought from the Association for
    Latin Liturgy, which we highly recommend (visit www.Latin-Liturgy.org or ask your
    retailer). For those wishing to learn more about plainsong singing, then we also
    recommend The Beginner's Book of Chant, published by St. Michael's Abbey Press,
    Farnborough.

    Copies of all the Masses in this book are also available separately on A4 card, suitable
    for congregational use. For full details, please visit our web site at
    www.themusicmakers.org or ask your retailer.
