Introït
The introït is a part of Gregorian chant, the first of those which compose the clean of the Messe. One finds it in the Graduel. ; Musical structure Musicalement, the introït is composed of a Antienne followed by a Verset. The antienne is of a generally even flowered very decorated style, less than the Graduel but definitely more than the Communion. The verse is a verse drawn from a psalm. He is sung on a Your psalmodic more decorated than that with the offices. After having sung the verse, the chorus sings the verse of the gloria then takes again da capo until the end of the antienne.
The execution of the verse of introït is reserved for the chorus, which must be of a relatively confirmed level. That of the verse can be entrusted to more occasional chorus-singers, but request all the same a certain formation.
; First words of the introït The particular Messe celebrated a day given was traditionally indicated by the first words of sound introït. The masses whose title passed in the current language are for example:
- Requiem (mass for the dead) which starts with Requiem aeternam gave eis Domine , Seigneur, grants the their eternal rest.
- Quasimodo , which gave its name to the character of Victor Hugo, comes from the first words of the introït Quasi modo geniti infantes (like new-born children, in truth spiritual, be avid of pure milk), of first Sunday after Easter.
The introït opens the celebration, and gives the environment of the festival. Thus the introïts Gaudete (third Sunday of the Advent) and Laetare (fourth Sunday of Lent, famous because they was formerly the two only occasions where celebrating covered ornaments of liturgical Couleur pink, translate as of the first word an environment of joy coming to clarify a time of penitence and preparation.
