Plainsong English settings of the Mass Ordinary

Below are English settings of the Ordinary of the Mass, using translations that are standard and follow ICEL’s proposed new text which, although granted a recognitio by the Vatican, has yet to receive approval from the USCCB. Once that approval is given, all standard text copyright notices will apply.

At the request of ICEL, access to sheet music and audio links below has been disabled for the time being.

The following policy below is reproduced below with the permission of ICEL regarding the usage and dissemination of ICEL texts over the Internet:

Use of ICEL Materials on Global Computer Networks

ICEL texts and translations that have been approved by the Conferences of Bishops, have received the recognition of the Holy See, and have subsequently been promulgated for use on the date established by the Conferences of Bishops may be reproduced in a non-commercial site (“Site”) on the global computer network commonly known as the internet without obtaining written or oral permission, subject to the following conditions:

1. there must be no fee charged to access the Site or any of the ICEL translations, texts, or music, thereon;
2. The appropriate ICEL copyright acknowledgment must appear on the first and last pages and/or frames within the Site displaying the ICEL translation or text (see www.icelweb.org and click on “copyright policies“);
3. The ICEL translations and texts must be followed exactly;
4. These policies do not grant a license to publish texts in any other form or any other right in ICEL’s name and marks, and the Site may not display the ICEL translations or texts or otherwise use the ICEL name in any way that implies affiliation with, or sponsorship or endorsement by, ICEL;
5. ICEL reserves the right to terminate or modify its permission to use its translations and texts;
6. ICEL reserves the right to take action against any party that fails to conform to these policies, infringes any of its intellectual property rights, or otherwise violates applicable law.

The music has been been assembled from traditional sources and edited by a team that includes Aristotle Esguerra, Arlene Oost-Zinner, Michael Lawrence, and others. It is published under the Creative Commons Attribution license so that you can use this music in every way, while acknowledging the Church Music Association of America as the source.

Despite these efforts, all are well-advised to remain acutely aware of the following exhortation found in Sacrosanctum Concilium, the Second Vatican Council’s Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy:

Nevertheless steps should be taken so that the faithful may also be able to say or to sing together in Latin those parts of the Ordinary of the Mass which pertain to them. (SC 54)
