What is a Mass Setting?
A Mass Setting is a musical arrangement of Mass texts, principally containing the parts of the Mass Ordinary (Kyrie, Gloria, Creed, Sanctus, Agnus Dei). Many Mass Settings also include parts of the Order of Mass (Sprinkling Rite, Mystery of Faith, Doxology and Amen, Lord’s Prayer, or the Dismissal).
In Source & Summit, you will find Mass Setting options for the following sections:
Mass Ordinary
Kyrie
Gloria
Sanctus
Lord’s Prayer
Agnus Dei
Order of Mass
