<h3><span style="color:blue">Graduals - Gradualia</span></h3> | |||
The '''gradual''', formerly called ''Responsorium Graduale'', is a melismatic inter-lecture chant that belongs to the proper of the Mass. Its name derives from the Latin ''gradus'', step, because originally the singers sang the gradual while remaining on the steps of the ambo. | |||
In the current liturgical order of the Roman rite, it can be sung after the first reading, using the Gregorian or polyphonic repertoire, with the function of an invitation to meditate on the Word heard. More frequently the gradual is not sung and is then replaced by the responsorial psalm prescribed by the missal. During Easter time the gradual is not contemplated, another alleluia chant is performed in its place, with the exception of the octave of Easter. | |||

<h3><span style="color:blue">Sequentia</span></h3> | |||
The '''sequence''', often also called by its Latin name ''sequentia'', is a liturgical musical poetic composition that is recited (or sung) at the end of the second reading while the assembly remains seated until its end and at the Alleluia that acclaims the Gospel one stands up. | |||
The sequence belongs to the proper of the mass: its text therefore varies according to the liturgical occasion celebrated. | |||
