Liturgical Hints & Ideas:
During Ordinary Time in Year B we will highlight passages from the new General Instruction on the Roman Missal (GIRM) that pertain to music during the liturgy.
The GIRM contains rubrics and instructions (some of them new) for the celebration of the Mass.
The first section below is a direct quote from the English translation of the document.
The second section is a commentary on the passage.
The Different Forms of Celebration (GIRM #196)
At the ambo the reader proclaims the readings that precede the gospel reading.
If there is no psalmist, the reader may also sing or recite the responsorial psalm after the first reading.
Commentary:
The Sunday readings (including the Responsorial Psalm) are very clearly defined in the Lectionary.
Knowing that some congregations may wish to reinforce a psalm/refrain by sequential repetition, or that a parish may want to unify a season with a consistent psalm, the Church allows us to substitute for the specific Responsorial Psalm of the Sunday a Common Responsorial Psalm for the season (including Ordinary Time).
This exception clearly does not extend to musical "paraphrases" of the psalms, be they metrical hymn versions or lyric creations of the contemporary singer/song-writers.
The text must be the Church's as presented in the approved books.
The musical choice (within good taste) is ours.
If a good setting of the proper (or common) Responsorial Psalm cannot be found or learned, I think it better to recite a correct psalm (as indicated above in GIRM #196) than to sing some individual's "version" of sacred Scripture.
