The Time after Pentecost / Ordinary Time – Music – 56.1

Congregational Song for the Time after Pentecost

A change in liturgical seasons creates opportunities for congregational responses unique to the season as well as experiences of ongoing liturgical moments and responses set to new and different music. Following are suggestions for use during the season after Pentecost, which due to its length particularly invites a wider use of responses:

Consider Kyrie eleison as a part of the confessional sequence.

• Kyrie GTG 575, 578, 579

Consider a new Gloria in place of the Gloria Patri.

• Gloria GTG 582, 584, 585

Consider replacing the Doxology with another response.

• Praise to God the Father GTG 605
• God, We Honor You GTG 709
• We Lift Our Voices GTG 710

Consider sung responses to the Great Prayer on Communion/Eucharist Sundays (Sanctus, Memorials Acclamation, Amen).

• Settings in GTG 552–554; 556–558; 559–561; 565–568
