The Roman Missal

In April 2010 the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments announced that the recognitio for the ‘universal edition’ (the ICEL text) of the Roman Missal had been granted. The Conferences of Bishops were responsible for incorporating their national propers, and authorizing publishers to print the new Missal in their territories.

Music for the Roman Missal

The music for the Missal is available here. It is important to note that the texts and music on this site require the authorization for use in a liturgical setting by the Bishops' Conference.

An Introduction to the music is available and explains the approach adopted in the chants.
