Below are some resources that you might find useful when it comes to the Latin Mass. Feel free to use!
1. Cues for the Cantor in a Missa Cantata – based off of the Scholas’ Guide to Sung Mass, found here: https://lms.org.uk/scholas-guide-sung-mass
You can also read it here:
Asperges:
- As soon as Priest kneels and is handed the aspergilium.
Introit:
- As soon as Asperges ends. If no Asperges, as soon as Priest enters church.
Kyrie:
- As soon as Introit ends.
Gloria:
- Priest intones at end of Kyrie.
Gradual and Alleluia:
- Right after the Epistle.
Creed:
- Intoned by Priest right after homily. If no homily it will be intoned immediately after Gospel.
Offertory:
- Right after Priest says the first “Oremus” of the offertory prayers. Must be quiet in time for the preface. Cue to stop singing (if needed) is “Orate fratres”
Sanctus:
- After the ‘dicentes’
Agnus Dei:
- After ‘Et cum spiritu tuo’ after the Pater Noster. Should not take so long as to interrupt the Priest’s ‘Ecce Agnus Dei.’
Communion (receive prior to congregation):
- As soon as congregation begins receiving communion. If some of schola is not receiving, schola should sing as soon as the Priest walks towards the comm. rail.
Ite, Missa Est
- After Postcommunion prayer.
