medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Wyn,
thanks for your quick response.
The reason why I was interested in this passage of the mass was because a
student of mine who is going to give a short presentation on Hildegard of
Bingen's Ordo Virtutum in a course on Visions of heaven and hell in Medieval
English Literature wanted to show that like the angelic choirs the community
on earth is also invited to praise God with their singing.
The student is German and a catholic, so I presume that he refers to the
translated version of the Roman mass. Unfortunately, my knowledge of the
Roman liturgy is almost non-existent which is why I can not tell which
liturgical season or feast day would be the appropriate one for the quote.
However, I am going to have a closer look at the weblinks you suggested.
Thanks again for your help (no, not confusion).
Yours
Sandra

Dear Sandra,
Are we talking about the Roman Mass here or the prefaces from the communion
services used in Protestant and Anglican churches? The authoritative text
of the Roman Mass is Latin and the English and German versions are
translations of the Latin. Also, in the Roman Mass the formula introducing
the Sanctus varies according to the liturgical season and feast days.
Hope this helps to explain rather than make things more obscure.
The following sites may be of help:
