Music for the Sunday Assembly

Year B
Music for the Sunday Assembly
Year B
The following suggestions for music in the liturgy are from Catholic Book of Worship III, Canadas
official hymnal for the English sector. Those who use other hymnals are advised to use the titles and
themes of the selections suggested to choose music with similar themes from their own repertoire.

Pastoral notes

1. The assemblys singing always has the priority since this is their sung prayer, and those who are
responsible for leadership need to keep the peoples right to sing as a priority when they make
their choices. Since an assembly is more likely to sing what is familiar to them, it is best to
include only one new song or acclamation in a given liturgy, and perhaps only one during a given
season, such as Advent, Lent or Easter. Thus it takes long-term planning to build a suitable
repertoire of liturgical music for a parish.
2. Liturgical musicians are not an entity unto themselves in the liturgy but are part of a community
that celebrates together. It is important that the music leaders work with the parishs liturgy
committee and their pastors when preparing their music and are aware of the other ministries as
they lead the parish in singing.
3. Using the same setting of the gospel acclamation, eucharistic acclamations and the Lamb of God
throughout a season, i.e., Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter, and to reserve the setting for that
season is suggested in order to help people to associate certain music with a specific season.
4. The verse for the gospel acclamation can always be found with the responsorial psalm designated
for a given Sunday or feast. It is suggested that these be used even if a parish is using a seasonal
responsorial psalm.
5. Many Roman Catholics observe May and October as a Marian month, with special devotions in
honour of Mary, the mother of God. However, Sunday is the Day of the Lord, a special day of the
resurrection focused first of all on the paschal mystery, and that focus always takes priority in any
celebration of a Sunday liturgy (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, no. 106). Therefore, those
who prepare the music for Sundays in their parish must keep in mind that no element of the
Lords day celebration may be replaced by any devotional practices, such as Marian hymns
during the month of May or October. Hymns to Mary do not have a place in the Sunday liturgy
(unless a Marian feast replaces a Sunday in Ordinary Time as happens on Aug. 15). One or two
such hymns may be used at a Eucharist during the week when a feast of Mary is celebrated, but
even then it is inappropriate to sing Marian songs at communion time. These hymns do have a
place in Marian devotions that are scheduled at a special time separate from any celebration of the
Eucharist, such as the public recitation of the rosary including singing and scripture readings.

Advent and Christmas


Note: The use of the Advent wreath as part of the environment for the liturgy is optional. It is best that the
appropriate candle(s) are lit before the liturgy starts, and if a blessing is to be included in the opening
rites, it is done only on the first Sunday of Advent.
The Glory to God is omitted during Advent.

Year B
Parish communities are urged to sing the responsorial psalm assigned for each Sunday. (See
CBW III, nos. 18, 21, 24, and 27 for Advent, Year B) If an assembly (or a cantor) is not
accustomed to singing the responsorial psalm assigned for each Sunday and feast, a seasonal
psalm may be used: Advent, nos. 15, 16, or 23.

Christmas Mass during the Night

Note: In selecting music for the Christmas celebrations, liturgical musicians will want to be on
communication with their pastors and liturgy committees regarding the Scripture readings to be used,
since the choice of music needs to flow from the readings. Using well known Christmas carols that are
appropriate for the liturgy is particularly helpful in encouraging assemblies to participate in the singing.
The Glory to God is sung throughout the octave of Christmas and during the Sundays of the
season.
For the responsorial psalm, see nos. 30, 31, 32, 34, 36, 37, 39 (and 29A or 29B for a seasonal
option).

Lent Triduum Easter Season


Pastoral notes

1. The Triduum is the high point of the liturgical year, and how the music is prepared should reflect
that. Some large parishes that have several choirs for the Sunday liturgies bring these choirs
together into one for the Triduum to give a sense of unity to the three celebrations and an
experience of the whole for the members.
2. It is best to choose one setting of the gospel acclamation, eucharistic acclamations, and the Lamb
of God to use throughout the season, i.e., one for Lent and another for the Easter season (the best
one the parish knows), and use them only during that season. People will eventually become more
aware of the season because they associate certain music with that season.
Music for the Sunday Assembly
Year B
3. Regarding instrumental music during Lent, the 1988 Circular Letter Concerning the Preparation
and Celebration of the Easter Feasts by the Congregation for Divine Worship says that musical
instruments may be played only to give necessary support to the singing (no. 17). This implies
that instrumental music apart from supporting the singing is used during the other seasons, such
as during the time when people are gathering before the liturgy starts as a sign of hospitality to
the body of Christ.

Glory to God: This song of praise is omitted during Lent. It is sung (with bells on) during the Mass of
the Lords Supper to mark the beginning of the Triduum and during the Easter vigil (again with bells
on) when the Triduum reaches its climax. It is sung during all of the Sundays during Easter and also on
each of the weekdays in the Octave of Easter.

Responsorial psalms: Musicians are encouraged to use the responsorial psalms provided for each
celebration in CBW III. For Year B, see nos. 43, 45, 48, 51, 54, 57, and 63 for Lent, and nos. 92, 95, 98,
101, 104, 106, and 107 for the Easter season. If, however, the assembly is not accustomed to singing a
different refrain for each Sunday or the cantors have difficulty learning a new one each week and the
parish is better off using a seasonal psalm, seasonal psalms are provided in the hymnal for the five
Sundays in Lent (nos. 41, 42, or 56) and the Sundays of Easter (nos. 91 or 103).

Gospel acclamation: During Lent the Alleluia is dropped and another acclamation of praise is used in the
gospel acclamation. See CBW III, nos. 258-65. The Alleluia is also not used in other musical settings,
such as the Great Amen, and hymns that include the Alleluia are not used.

First Sunday in Lent

An optional entrance song: The Circular Letter Concerning the Preparation and celebration of the
Easter Feasts suggests the following for the First Sunday in Lent: The first Sunday of Lent marks the
beginning of the annual lenten observance. In the Mass of this Sunday there should be some distinctive
elements which underline this important moment; e.g., the entrance procession with litanies of the saints
(no. 23).
There are several points to consider here. First of all, the directive calls for distinctive elements to
mark the beginning of Lent, something such as a piece of music which is repeated every year. Secondly,
if the litany of saints is used, note the connection with the Easter vigil, during which the litany of saints is
sung during the baptism rite.
If the litany of saints is not chosen, an entrance song should be chosen from the list below.

Ordinary Time

Note: The priority for leaders of liturgical music is to have the assembly sing the gospel acclamation,
the eucharistic acclamations, and the Lamb of God; these are sung texts. Also, the Glory to God is a
hymn text and should be sung. The most important of the specific hymns that need to be chosen for
each celebration are the entrance song and the communion processional.
Parish communities are urged to sing the responsorial psalm assigned for each Sunday. (See
CBW III, nos. 116, 119, 122, 125, 128, 131, 134, 137). If, however, an assembly (or a cantor) is
not accustomed to singing the responsorial psalm assigned for each Sunday and feast, a seasonal
psalm may be used: See no. 114 for suggestions.
