Kyriale `IX` - Cum jubilo - Feasts of the Blessed Virgin Mary `I`
Kyrie `IX`	1	LU40	GR32* GB2976	E♭ The alternance of verses is different on this one: - the 2nd Kyrie is different from the 1st and 3rd, - the 2nd Christe is different from the 1st and 3rd, - the 2nd last Kyrie is different from the 1st and 3rd, - and obviously the 3rd Kyrie is different but that's common.
Gloria `IX`	7	LU40	GR32* GB2771	E♭ OK this is the master piece, quite technical. Mode 7, angelic. Remember your congregation might know it as it is not often sung. - Deus Pater omnipotens: tricky ups and downs, podatus and clivis. - Qui tollis peccata mundi: starts on G but one needs to be focused so to come back on G at peccata. Sounds easy to say but... - Tu solus: here we will reach the top A note, relax the voice and sing without forcing. It is interesting to see this top A being the only top A note, highest note of the piece, "You alone are the Highest", Alpha and Omega.
Sanctus `IX`	5	LU42	GR34* GB587	A Very beautiful Sanctus. Especially this top F, descending climacus FED, coming all along to start phrases or words.
Agnus Dei `IX`	5	LU42	GR34* GB707	D Same notes/pitches as the Agnus Dei.
Ite missa est `IX`	1	LU43	GR35* GB2989	E♭ Same melody as the Kyrie.

Agnus Dei Requiem	G	LU1815	GR101* GB2118	G Same melody as Agnus Dei `XVIII`.
