Roman Missal Music ResourcesHere you can find materials to go with the ICEL chants that will be in the new Missal, which the Archdiocese of Atlanta has recommended all parishes use. Here are also links to other Mass settings, including those to be used in parishes in the archdiocese. Finally, this page has a list of hymnals that have been redesigned for the new translation (and which include new Mass settings). Archbishop Gregory has granted permission to the Archdiocese of Atlanta to use the new Mass parts as early as September. The Archdiocesan Music Commission has recommended a schedule of introduction in hopes that it will be used throughout the archdiocese. Missal Chants (a.k.a. ICEL Chants)The same international group of scholars who translated the texts of the new Missal – the International Commission on English in the Liturgy – also worked with musicologists to take the Latin chants that have been part of our Church’s tradition for centuries and adapt them to be prayable in English. By putting them in the Missal, the Church has made clear her desire for all English-speaking Catholics to learn them. The Archdiocese of Atlanta has recommended that all parishes teach these chants to their parishioners. Both websites below include the entire Ordinary and many proper texts, including Prefaces. The primary difference is how they are organized. International Commission on English in the Liturgy - The official website of the group of international scholars who translated the texts and arranged the notes for the new Missal. National Association of Pastoral Musicians - NPM provides PDFs, MP3s, and audio recordings of new Missal chants. Please give theses chants a chance before you decide they’re not for your group, even if they don’t seem like your style. Numerous archdiocesan musicians who originally opposed them have tried them and changed their minds. Practice VideosThe Archdiocese of Boston has also made choral video recordings of the ICEL chants. Corpus Christi Watershed and the Church Music Association of America together offer these video recordings of the ICEL chants. The Church Music Association of America has put together a comprehensive (and continually updated) list of music resources for the new translation. Accompaniment for Missal ChantsICEL has provided accompaniments for the following parts of the Mass:
Another accompaniment/choral setting for the same chants is the Liturgical Music for English Speaking Churches by Lavern Wagner. This can also be purchased as a book from Missal Book Publishing. A third setting was written by Jeff Ostrowski of Corpus Christi Watershed. It can also be purchased in the accompaniment book for the Vatican II Hymnal.
