You must have the following resources:

• Lectionary: the scripture readings
• Today’s Liturgy: OCP’s quarterly publication for liturgy preparation

The Big Picture Planning
Begin choosing repertoire by thinking seasonally:
• Advent
• Christmas
• Lent
• Easter
• Ordinary Time Add a few new pieces to each season every year. Think future…what pieces will stand the test of time and remain in the “repertoire” for many years.

Think Topically
There are themes or topics that reoccur throughout the liturgical year:
• Shepherd
• Love
• Holy Spirit
• Marian
• Always need Eucharistic music

Think Ritually
• Initiation (acclamations that can be used throughout the year)
• Funeral
• Eternal Life
• Sequences
– Easter
– Pentecost
– Body and Blood

Selecting Service Music (Mass Settings)
“Liturgy is something sung…….The Assembly sings their
liturgy. That is the way things are supposed to be. They
don’t sing during the liturgy. They sing the liturgy.”
(Gabe Huck, 1989, Liturgy Training
Publications)
• How many Mass settings each year?
• Do you change seasonally?
