The Caecil1a 207 Directions for Choir at Requiem Mass (Editor's Note: See last month's CAECILIA for directions at High Mass, and next month's is- sue for Vespers and Benediction.) 1-Introit is begun as soon as the Priest reaches the foot of the altar. 2-The Kyrie follows at once. 3-A Prayer then follows, after which the Response Amen is sung. Then comes the Epistle immediately after which the Gradual is sung, with the Tract following im mediately and the Sequence (Dies Irae) right after that. 4--The Offertory then follows : 5-At the Preface: After, Per Omnia, etc., respond-Amen. After, Dominus Vobiscum, respond-Et cum sp1ntu tuo. After, Sursum Corda, respond-Habemus ad Dominnm. After, Domino Deo nostro, respond-Dignum et justum est. 6--The Sanctus and Benedictus are then sung. 7-At the Pater Noster: After, Per Omnia, etc., respond-Amen. After, et ne nos inducas in tentationem, respond - Sed libera nos a male. After, Per Amnia, etc., as above, the priest sings Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum. To which the choir responds-et cum spiritu tuo. 8-The choir then sings the Agnus Dei, fonowed by the Communion as soon as the Cele brant has taken the Ablutions. 9-The prayer "Praesta quaesumus" follows after which, answer-Amen. l~Priest then sings Requiescant in pace, followed by choir-Amen. 11-Libera is then sung. 12-Celebrant recites Pater Noster until-Et ne nos inducas in tentationem. Following which the choir responds Sed Libera nos a malo. 13-The Celebrant and choir then sing antiphonally: Priest Choir A porta inferi. Eru Domine animam ejus, (if the Requiem is for one person. If for more than one per son), sing Enie Domine animas eorum. Requiescant in pace. Amen. Domine exaudi orationem meam. Et clamor meus ad te veniat Dominus vobiscum Et cum spiritu tuo. (A prayer follows) after which... Amen. Requiem aeternam dona ei (or eis) Et lux perpetua luceat ei (or eis) Domine. Requiescat (or Requiescant) in pace. Amen.
