The Church Music Association of America’s website, musicasacra.com, has several versions of the Introits and Communion Antiphons under its “resources” section. Some of these predate the current Roman Missal and others have been or are being modified to match the new texts. It would appear that the Ordinariate is using the modern Roman Missal’s Introits. Musicians may then like to visit John Ainslie’s website, benedicamus.org. uk. Until 1 July Ainslie’s antiphons are downloadable, but will be removed prior to their publication as the book “English Proper Chants” on 3 September. Ainslie has included the music at the beginning of Palm Sunday and the feast of the Presentation, using traditional chants. His introits come in three forms - square notes, modern notation for the melodies, and accompaniments. A few psalm verses are provided for each antiphon but of course do not use our tra nslation. The psalm tones are simple enough for most congregations to learn and then manage provided they have the pointing. The antiphons require a cantor or schola who can read music well. Not all of our groups will be able to manage that.
