Easter Mass settings
A change in Mass setting from whatever is used in Lent highlights the change of liturgical season. The great fifty days from Easter to Pentecost form a season of sustained joy, and a Mass setting that reflects this joy may also be used at Pentecost. This again deepens the character of the season without there being too much new music for the people to learn. Instruments may now also be used freely in Masses to support the joy of the season. See the ‘Mass Settings’ section in CWBII, as well as the ‘Service Music’ section in CWBII for some seasonal responses. The Gloria and Alleluia gospel acclamations are both used in the season of Easter.
Some suggested settings are:
- Mass of Christ the Redeemer (Kirkpatrick)—CWBII 24
- Mass of Creation (Haugen)—AOV1 196 (3rd edn), CWBII 69 a, b, c, 74, G 192–204, DD (GIA)
- Mass of Glory and Praise (Mason)—CWBII 25
- Mass of a Joyful Heart (Angrisano)—DD (OCP)
- Missa Magis (Willcock)—CWBII 26

Solo singing or instrumentals
The procession of the gifts or offertory is an appropriate time for a suitable piece from a solo singer, an instrumentalist or the choir. This piece may replace a communal hymn or song at this time.
After Communion
The GIRM (§88) instructs that when the distribution of Communion is finished, there is a time of silence and prayer. This period of silence may then be followed by a thanksgiving hymn, psalm or canticle that is to be sung by all.
