The renewed vision of Lent that emphasizes both Baptism and Penitence serves as a reliable guide to musical strategy. This vision is conveniently summed up in the Circular Letter Concerning the Preparation and Celebration of the Easter Feasts, Paschales Solemnitatis.
Litany of the Saints
The letter suggests the use of the Litany of the Saints to accompany the entrance procession on the First Sunday of Lent.
Emphasize in our liturgical catechesis that we are entering our Lenten celebration with all the members of the Church, including the glorious dead. Litanies have also been said to make the church building itself seem to breathe: the respiration-like alteration of petition and response can actually seem that way. The singing of the litany can have a calming, centering, respiratory effect on the assembled body, rather like that of the Jesus Prayer on the individual body. Do anything you can to make the singing seem organic and inevitable – no awkward, unexpected pauses or attempts at “dramatic effects.”
Sing the Liturgy
The Vatican Circular Letter includes a healthy reminder that a reason we sing is to “facilitate the participation of the faithful,” and therefore the opportunities for singing should not be taken away by those in leadership. The same principle rules this statement: “In larger churches where the resources permit, a more ample use should be made of the church’s musical heritage, both ancient and modern, always ensuring that this does not impede the active participation of the faithful.’ If the first statement may be a useful reminder to priests not to exclude singing on a whim, then the latter should restrain music ministers who may be tempted to let the more elaborate music get out of balance.
It would seem important that we regard all these principles (not just our favorite ones) with respect and sensitivity, with adaptations both embodying the principles and being mindful of local conditions. Our liturgies’ partial musical fast can be one more fruitful element in preparing us for a more abundant Easter feast.
Gospel Acclamation
Characteristics of this season is the change in the text for the Gospel Acclamation. The Alleluia is not used from the beginning of Lent until the Easter Vigil. (General Norms for the Liturgical Year and the Calendar # 28) Alleluia is omitted in the Liturgy of the Hours and in the Mass wherever it is found both verbal and visual. In the spirit of penitence, the liturgy “abstains” from the Alleluia. This is true at celebrations of the funerals, weddings, baptisms and confirmations as well.
During Lent a brief verse of acclamatory character replaces the Alleluia and is sung in the same way (2002 IGMR #62 b) or else we observe silence. If the Gospel Acclamation is not sung, it may be omitted.
4 Models:
a. Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ, King of endless glory!
b. Praise and honor to You, Lord Jesus Christ!
c. Glory and praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ!
d. Glory to You, Word of God, Lord Jesus Christ!
(Lectionary, Introduction #9)
The texts that replace the Alleluia in this season keep us mindful of the purpose of the Gospel acclamation. We sing to honor Jesus Christ, whether in the festive Alleluia or in other, more subdued expressions of praise. The Gospel Acclamation, along with the ceremonial that takes place at the proclamation of the Gospel, enshrines the event with great dignity. It elevates this reading above all others, just as the appropriate use of the Book of the Gospels calls attention to this reading above all others.
Because Alleluia means “Praise God”, the substitute acclamation is a kind of English translation of the Hebrew, which seems strange. Lucein Deiss, CSsP used to ponder puckishly if God does not understand Hebrew during Lent. Still, this alteration of the usual pattern in greeting the gospel remarkably creates a sense of the season, because the Alleluia remains “buried” even on Sundays and solemnities until Easter.
The substitution of a non-Alleluia acclamatory text during Lent reflects an ancient tradition of “fasting” from the Alleluia during the penitential forty days. Some theorists, however have questioned its appropriateness since every Eucharistic Celebration (even during Lent) bears the marks of paschal joy. In the spirit of penitence, the liturgy “abstains” from the Alleluia. This substitution does not signify a diminution of praise. Both text mean the same thing. It is simply a little rubrical playing about to mark the penitential time of Lent. It presumes that “Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ,” is less joyful than the acclamation “Alleluia.” But this is not the place to debate such liturgical curiosities.
Use a single setting of the Gospel Acclamation throughout the forty days.
Te Deum and Gloria
The Te Deum and the Gloria are not said except on solemnities and feasts. The Glory to God is omitted on Sundays of Lent. By suppressing the joyful song of the Gloria, the liturgy places greater emphasis on the Act of Penitence. This gives the whole liturgy a more somber air, suitable for a season of preparation and penance.
From Ash Wednesday until the singing of the Gloria at the Easter Vigil and the celebrations for the dead, the organ and other instruments should be played only to sustain the singing. An exception is made for Laetare Sunday (The Fourth Sunday of Lent) and for solemnities and festive days. From the end of the Gloria in the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday until the Gloria at the Easter Vigil, the organ and other musical instruments should be played only to sustain the singing or allowed only to support the singing. (Ceremonial of Bishops # 252, Congregation for Divine Worship, 14 September 1984)
Song at Communion
As a unique feature of the Lenten Season, most of the Sunday Communion Antiphons are taken directly from the Gospel Reading of the day. This includes not only the pivotal Gospels in Year A, but also year C Gospels for the Fourth and Fifth Sundays of Lent, concerning the prodigal son and the woman caught in adultery. If possible, have the choir or cantor chant this antiphon as an introduction to the Communion song. Then as the participants come forward to receive the Bread of Life they hear again the proclamation of the Word of Life.
Silence after the Dismissal
For Lent, you could end the Mass in silence for a feeling of austerity and to mark the special character of the season. This is a matter of local custom. The Recessional Hymn is not a part of the official liturgy, which ends with the dismissal.
Choosing What to Sing
When choosing other music, refer to the scripture readings, but let the Entrance Antiphon also provide direction. On the first Sunday of Lent, Psalm 90 is used showing Jesus’ trust and confidence in God who saves Him in temptation. The antiphons for the Second and Third Sundays of Lent concentrate on God’s merciful forgiveness. The opening word of the antiphon on the Fourth Sunday of Lent gives this day its special name: “Laetare – Rejoice,
Musical Instruments
The current edition of the General Instruction of the Roman Missal gives more prominence to the limitations placed on musical instruments during this season. They should be used only to support singing (GIRM, 313). This “fasting” from instrumental music also implies the suitability of unaccompanied singing during Lent. Try singing the Eucharistic Acclamations without accompaniment using a simple set that is simple enough to stand on its own.
Musical instruments may be played only to give necessary support to the singing. Lent bans on any instrumental music not used to accompany singing. The ban has nothing to do with gloominess; the silence makes it easier to think straight. It is advisable for those preparing liturgical celebrations to attend to the purpose rather than to the strict letter of this law and determine whether certain instrumental pieces may in the local situation indeed foster the spirit of the Lenten season.
Let there be some abstinence from musical instruments and their sensual delights in your Lent. The details will vary place to place, but don’t let it be “business as usual.” You’ll be glad you cut back when Easter comes and the effects are terrific because of the fallow period.
