High Mass Rubrics for Choir Master

These are my own notes that I learned from my time in the schola in St. Mary's and our former choir master. 

Choir and Congregation | Schola

1. Processional: On Sundays start when the priest is ready to begin the procession.  On weekdays the processional is replaced by the Introite.
2. Asperges or Vidi Aquam: On Sunday. Intoned by Celebrant
3. Introite: On Sundays begin when the prayer at the foot of the altar start. On weekdays, begin when the priest begins to process to the sanctuary
4. Kyrie: On Sundays, start immediately after the Introite. On Weekdays, same, unless it is a Missa Cantata - then begin when the MC starts the confiteor.
5. Gloria: Intoned by the Celebrent, when in season.
6. Gradual:
7. Alleluia / Tract / Sequence: Immediately following the Gradual depending on season
   
8. Credo: Intoned by the priest on Sundays and major feasts after Gospel or Sermon.
9. Offertory (Propers): Intone by Cantor after the Dominus Vobiscum
10. Offertory (Hymn): After propers and must to short enough to not interfere with priest.
    
11. Sanctus: Intoned at the ringing of the bells at the Sanctus.
12. Consecration (Organ): can play short piece post consecration.  Normally Eucharistic piece is appropriate.
13. Agnus Dei: Intone after the Pax Domini
14. Communion (Hymn): Intoned at the beginning of the communion or immediately after the choir communicates.
15. Communion (Proper): Intoned when the Celebrant returns to the altar after distributing communion and has closed the tabernacle.
