* Live Rec. • “Absolution of the Body” (Gregorian Chant)

EAD ON OVER to the Saint René Goupil Chant Resources website, and you’ll find some pretty cool stuff underneath “2 November” (Feast of All Souls). I recently edited a simple Mass Ordinary, but—needless to say—the rubrics also require tons of Gregorian Chant (at a Requiem Mass) in addition to the Mass Ordinary.

Here’s a live recording from the FSSP church in Los Angeles:

In my humble opinion, the singing at marker 2:14 is excellent. I was proud to direct Catholics who can sing so well.

Pro-Tip: When a catafalque is used—instead of a dead body—the priest does not say the “Non Intres” prayer.
