Missa VIII (Missa de Angelis)

WOULD YOU LIKE TO LEAVE A SMALL DONATION?

The Missa De Angelis, or Missa VIII, is perhaps the best known even among the assemblies that do not often have to do with Gregorian Chant. It normally bears the indication In festis duplicibus (Latin: Double Feasts), and is generally performed on Solemnities.

Like all the Masses collected in the Kyriale Romanum, it is a Mass whose pieces were assembled after years of being composed and sung. The centuries of composition of the five cantos of the Ordo Missae (which are the Kyrie, the Gloria, the Sanctus-Benedictus and the Agnus Dei, the Credo was inserted later) are indicated in the same Kyriale: the Kyrie is from the 15th-16th sec. (V mode); the Gloria of the XVI (fifth mode); The Sanctus of the 11th or 12th century. (VI mode); the Agnus Dei of the XV (VI mode). The Credo normally included in the Missa De Angelis is the Credo III (V mode), and is actually from the 17th century.
