Tractus

The Tract (in Latin Tractus, in Ambrosian chant Cantus) is a liturgical chant between the readings, which belongs to the Proper of the Mass. In the Tridentine Mass it replaces the Alleluia verse during Lent, during the Season of Septuagesima, and in Masses for the dead. After the liturgical reform of the Roman rite in 1969, in the acclamation before the Gospel, one may sing instead of the Alleluia during Lent either the verse placed in the Lectionary before the Gospel, or another psalm or a tract as found in the Gradual^[2].
