T
…those songs that are to be sung by the
liturgical assembly during the Celebration
of the Holy Eucharist or the Holy Mass
First, we must know the
four basic parts of the
Mass…
 (a) Introductory Rite,
 (b) Liturgy of the
Word,
 (c) Liturgy of the
Eucharist, and
 (d) Concluding Rite.
(a) INTRODUCTORY RITE
 Entrance
Hymn
 Kyrie Eleison
(Lord have
mercy)
 Gloria (Only on Sundays
of ordinary time, Solemnities
and Special Feast Days)
(b) LITURGY OF THE WORD
 Responsorial
Psalm (at
least the
Response)
 Alleluia (also
called Gospel
acclamation)
(c) LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST

 Song for the Presentation of


the Gifts (Offertory Hymn)
 Sanctus
 Anamnesis (Memorial Acclamation)
 Great Amen
 The Lord’s Prayer
 Lamb of God (Agnus Dei)
 Communion Hymn
(d) CONCLUDING RITE
 This part is optional: either
sung or not
 Playing of instrumental
music is already enough
 If sung: Thanksgiving song,
Marian Song, or song for
the Saint of the day

N.B. Those in the 1st Degree shall be given priority and are
required to be sung during the Eucharistic celebration. Those
in the 2nd degree can be sung without singing those in the 3rd
or 4th degrees. However, those in the 3rd and 4th degrees shall
not be sung without singing those in the 2nd degree.
CONCLUSION

 In Liturgical Celebrations, music is only the


means, not an end…
 In other words, the highlight is not the music
but the Liturgical celebration itself. It only
aids in the conscious participation of the
entire assembly and must not take the
spotlight from it.
