HOW TO USE PSALM TONES
Psalm tones provide an easy way to sing text. To match text with
the psalm tone, first, one needs to divide the text into separate phrases.
For example, Psalm 23 has these phrases: 1) The Lord is my shepherd, 2)
there is nothing I shall want. 3) Fresh and green are the pastures 4) where
he gives me repose. Next, one sings each phrase to a measure of music.
In the examples above, each measure has two notes. Sing almost all of the
words of a phrase on the first note. Move to the second note on the
strong syllable of the last word.
If there are a different number of phrases than four or two, then
you repeat or omit measures to fit the text. For example, two phrases
would line up with a four measure tone like this: sing the first phrase using
the first measure, sing the second/last phrase using the last measure, (i.e.
1,4). Six phrases would match with a four measure tone like this: 123434.
Three phrases would line up with a four measure tone like this: 124.

PREFACE
8.
W
henever we participate in the Mass, we join our hearts,
minds and voices to the eternal worship of God in heaven.
There the heavenly choirs sing around the throne of God, "Holy,
holy, holy." We are invited to join the heavenly chorus as we celebrate the earthly liturgy.
Music, then, has been an integral part of Catholic worship from the
beginning. Liturgical music, sacred music, is not one of the frills that
we bring in to dress things up for special occasions. As we lend our
voices and instruments to the action of the Mass, we are giving of
ourselves more completely, in union with Jesus Christ. We are allowing ourselves to be conformed to the pattern of heaven, expressing the communion that we seek with one another, with the angels
and saints, and with the Trinity.
Music is very much a part of the human experience. In our popular
culture, we are often consumers of music. We tend to listen to what
we enjoy. Because our lives are so hectic, what we enjoy tends not
to be very complicated or challenging to hear or to sing. We tend to
"consume" the music that fits us, and it often provides great enjoyment and comfort.
The sacred music used in the Mass is not primarily about us. It is
sung to God and not to the congregation. It is an expression of the
worship owed to God, who alone is the Almighty, who alone can
save us from sin and death. The reception of the third edition of the
Roman Missal provides an opportunity to elevate our appreciation
for the music of the liturgy.
The Missal assumes that any number of the parts of the Mass can
and should be chanted or sung. The priest can chant the opening of
the Mass (the sign of the cross) and the opening prayer. Priest and
people together can chant the various dialogues of the Mass, such
as, "The Lord be with you. And with your spirit," or the dialogue

ANTIPHONS
The following Antiphons were composed by J. Michael
McCabe for the Archdiocese of Omaha. The texts are taken from the
proper chants of various Sundays throughout the year. They may be
sung during the three processions which occur at Mass: at the Entrance,
at the Offertory and at Communion. Musicians may find accompanying
Psalms from the Revised Grail Psalter at the Archdiocese of Omaha
website.

before the Preface. Chanting these dialogues helps us recognize that
we are not simply exchanging pleasantries as we might on the street.
We are participating in sacred worship.
We are used to chanting or singing parts of the Mass together, and
we will continue to do so. With the third edition of the Missal, the
texts for the Glory to God, the Holy, Holy, Holy and the Lamb of
God have changed somewhat in the new translation. So we will
have to learn some new musical settings. One setting for the Mass is
available in the Missal itself. We have commissioned the composition of another Mass setting to be used in the parishes of the archdiocese. I have requested that these two settings of the Mass be
learned and used in all parishes, so that we can all participate together, no matter which church we are in.
I have also asked a group of liturgical musicians from parishes
across the archdiocese to develop a core list of psalms and hymns
for use in all of our parishes. No parish will be restricted to using
only the pieces on the list, but I do want us all to have access to music that is beautiful, singable and theologically sound in its expression. Much of this good music is already known to us. I would like
to think that in every parish, the quality of our liturgical music and
the level of participation could be raised a notch or two from what
we have been doing. This is an integral part of our being drawn
more fully into the sacred mysteries we celebrate at Mass.

We can begin now to approach our music at Mass less like consumers looking for what we like and more properly as worshippers who
want to be conformed to the mystery of Christ. As we pray, listen
and sing at Mass with generous hearts, this conformity to Christ is
experienced here and now, even though imperfectly. In our worship
here, we learn to long for that perfect communion that can be ours,
by God's grace, at the heavenly liturgy.
