    SS. Papalis Basilic Vatican

    NORMS
    FOR THE PARTICIPATION OF CHOIRS
    IN THE CAPITULAR MASS
    IN THE PAPAL BASILICA OF ST. PETER IN THE VATICAN

    1. The Musical Chapel of the Papal Basilica of St. Peter is happy to welcome guest
    choirs who wish to animate the Liturgy. They must demonstrate their suitability and
    be able to guarantee a quality of song that is worthy of it surroundings.

    2. The Musical Chapel of St. Peters Basilica follows the norms of the Magisterium of
    the Church regarding liturgical song, and especially the Chirograph of John Paul II
    and the latest pronouncements of Benedict XVI in the matter of liturgical music.

    3. The liturgy is celebrated in the Latin language, according to the Roman Rite. Gregorian
    chant has first place. The guest choir is expected to chant the Ordinary of Holy Mass
    in alternation with the Musical Chapel of the Basilica.

    4. As a general norm, the chants from the Ordinary to be executed are:


    Sundays of Advent: Missa XVII Credo IV
    Sundays of Christmas: Missa IX Credo IV
    Sundays of Lent: Missa XVII Credo IV
    Sundays of Easter: Missa I Credo III
    Sundays of Ordinary Time: Missa XI Credo I
    Feasts of Ordinary Time: Missa VIII Credo III
    Feasts of the B.V. Mary: Missa IX Credo IV
    Feasts of the Apostles: Missa IV Credo III

    5. The guest choir may sing:


    - at the Entrance procession until the moment when the celebrant reaches the altar.
    The Gregorian Introit is sung by the Musical Chapel of the Basilica.
    - at the preparation of the gifts and relative offertory,
    - at Communion, after the Gregorian antiphon has been sung,
    - at the end of Mass, after the Blessing.
    The program of music must follow the Liturgy of the day and will be agreed upon
    with and approved by the Choirmaster.

    6. Singing in St. Peters is a stupendous prospect: all those who wish to do so may apply
    to the Chapel Prefect, in full freedom, without restrictions on the part of any
    organization, travel agency, or other. The application, which will be vetted by the
    Choirmaster, is to be sent if possible along with some recordings useful for verifying
    the qualifications of the choir and with a proposal of songs for the liturgy in which
    the choir is requesting to participate.

    7. Participation in the Capitular Mass is free of charge. Nonetheless, the Chapter of St.
    Peters Basilica accepts with gratitude the free offerings of guest choirs who wish to
    participate in maintaining quality liturgical service in the Basilica. An official receipt
    will be issued.

    These norms were approved by the Most Reverend Archpriest of the Papal Basilica of Saint Peter in an
    audience of 17 December 2006 and he has mandated their publication.
