Cum Angelis et Pueris
Just before the Procession takes place the Deacon sings; "Procedamus in
pace" the choir answers: "In nomine Christi. Amen." The following is
then sung;
Fr. Schubert
Allegro moderato
Cum Angelis et pueris fideles in veniamur,
triumphatori mortis clamantes:
Hosanna in excelsis.
When the procession has reached the portal of the Church two or four
chanters enter and, facing the door begin the "Gloria Laus;" the clergy
and singers outside repeat the verse. Chanters sing each new stanza
while the singers outside repeat the "Gloria Laus". At the end of the
last stanza the procession enters the church the music being changed to
"Ingrediente."
