Ex. 26 (b)
ajfl-rcyj/jCTfljIJlJTlJifl
Di - ca- - mus o-mnes.-a'Do -
-re - re. &* Do-mi- ne, mi-se-re - re.
(Say we all, Lord have mercy.)
7. The second part of the service opens with the Sonus, sung while
the deacon brings the offerings
to the altar. The Sonus ends with
Alleluia, and is thus parallel to the Laudes in the Mozarabic and the
Song of the Cherubim in the Byzantine rite. This Alleluia (also called
but indica
Laudes) is threefold. No examples have been preserved,
tions from Spain point to it having been like the Roman Alleluia but
much more florid.
8. After the Offertory (as in the Mozarabic rite) was sung the Creed,
in the Nicene form but in the plural, opening 'Credimus', in con
formity with the Council of Toulouse in 589, A fragment of this can
be given here: 1
Ex. 27 (a)
Cre-di-mus in u-num De-urn Pat , rem o - mni-po-teivtem, Fa-cto-rem coe-li et ter-rge
Ex.2 7 (b)
Cre-di-mus in u-num De - um, Pa-tremo mni-po - ten -tern,
S Fa-cto- remcoe-li et ter - rae,
J
(We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.)
9. Immolatio (Roman Preface, Mozarabic fflatio), followed as in
all liturgies by the Sanctus: no specifically Gallican music for this is
known.
