The Different Forms of Celebration (GIRM #218)

... It is fitting that the parts which may be recited together by all the concelebrants and which are provided with musical notation in the Missal be sung.

Commentary: Seminaries should teach priests their musical parts of the Mass, and should train them to sing what is theirs. Singing is part of the celebrant's role — like preaching, and should be expected of him. Goodness knows, it's "expected" of the congregation. "Nerves" or "my lousy voice" are not excuses. Priests not totally "comfortable" with public speaking learn to deal with the "thorn" of delivering a homily. I'm not sure I'd go so far as to advocating always singing the dialogues and presidential prayers (although there are some priests and communities who do). Using these sung parts on occasion highlights important liturgical days. Our liturgical year risks becoming a flat, lifeless desert rather than a contoured, living landscape, if Pentecost sounds just like the 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time (but for red clothes).
