For those parishes who might be looking for an accessible way to sing the Entrance Antiphon this Lent, please feel free to sing these Lenten Hymn Tune Introits.
The Hymn Tune Propers Project combines the familiar experience of hymn singing with the new experience, in the life of many parishes, of singing the proper texts of the Mass. Hopefully this will be the beginning of a smooth and painless transition which eventually leads to thorough use of chanted and polyphonic propers. In the meantime, parishioners have the benefit of the proper texts, in a congregational, familiar form.
