The Different Forms of Celebration (GIRM #147)

... For their part, the people assosiate themselves with the priest in silent faith, as well as by the prescribed acclamations in the Eucharistic Prayer, which are their responses in the Preface dialogue, the Sanctus, the acclamation after the consecration and the great Amen after the final doxology, and also other acclamations approved by the Conference of Bishops and confirmed by the Holy See.

Commentary: Music directors often go to great lengths in programing a grand processional, a perfect Gloria, an introspective Offertory anthem and a rousing Closing Song. How many music directors offer to work with the celebrant to learn music for the Eucharistic Prayer, the central liturgical prayer? There is music in the back of the Sacramentary for the middle portion of the Eucharistic Prayer. Other music, even more simple, can certainly be used to great effect. Please note: this music must be a cappella (without any accompaniment); this rubric [see GIRM #32] sets the priest's prayer in high relief so everyone may listen with due attention. Organ (and guitars too) must be silent. This is not an operatic recitative.
