TheKyriale is a collection ofGregorian chant settings for theOrdinary of the Mass. It contains eighteenMasses (each consisting of theKyrie,Gloria [excluded from Masses intended for weekdays/ferias and Sundays inAdvent andLent],Sanctus, andAgnus Dei), sixCredos, and severalad libitum chants. This collection is included in liturgical books such as theGraduale Romanum andLiber Usualis, and is also published as a separate book by the monks ofSolesmes Abbey.
In the Kyriale, the individual chants of the Ordinary are grouped into complete sets, whose title usually indicates the opening of theprosula formerly sung to each respective Kyrie melody. These Masses are followed by individual items not grouped with the complete Masses.
A shorter Kyriale is included in the second edition of theGraduale Simplex.
The following list of Masses indicates the seasons or feasts for which each Mass is intended. In practice, however,Mass settings may be used on days that fall outside theseasons orfeasts listed below; additionally, chants may be extracted from multiple Mass settings for use during a given Mass.[1][2][3]
For most Mass settings, the seasonal/festal classification is listed as follows: as practiced prior to the 1955liturgical reforms of Pope Pius XII/as practiced under the 1960Code of Rubrics ofPope John XXIII/as practiced following the liturgical reforms ofPope Paul VI.
