If you do not have this page bookmarked, you must. Everything on this page will ascend in importance as time goes on. This is the core music of the forthcoming Missal, only a year away from becoming the only English Missal used in every parish in the English-speaking world.

Many months ago, before final approval and all, I wrote a (favorable) review of the ICEL chants:

Very interesting that the Gloria is shown with the music for the Celebrant:
1. Latin
2. Latin
3. Latin
4. Latin
5. Latin
or
6. English (one setting only)
I was discussing this with my parish priest and he seemed intimidated by having to learn new music to go with the new text. He mentioned that he wished there were a cd that he could use to learn the priest's parts. I thought of recording one myself (the music is very simple) but would rather give him something done by a better singer. Any ideas?
