About Adaptations in some Mass settings...
Two of our most familiar Latin settings that a number of you sing very well at Mass are the Laus Tibi Christe Mass by Federico Caudana (which we use during most of June and most of November, plus the Kyrie from that Mass in Lent) and the Cristo Risusciti Mass by Luigi Picchi (which we use during Paschaltide, after all, it's based on a tune written for Paschaltide).
At the time these two Masses were published (Cristo Risusciti was published in 1934, Laus Tibi Christe in 1963), there was no Memorial Acclamation in the Mass, and the Amen at the end of the Canon of the Mass (now known as the Eucharistic Prayer) was simply a single Amen (do do-re).
So, while the Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei are from the actual Mass setting by the aforementioned composers, I had taken the liberty of adapting the Memorial Acclamation (in English) and Amen triplex to fit the theme of the two Masses.
In the Laus Tibi Christe Mass, I used the When we eat this bread... acclamation, adapted to the opening passages of the Gloria from that Mass, and simply used the Amen triplex that concludes the Gloria to conclude the Eucharistic Prayer.
In the Cristo Risusciti Mass (which we are singing now), I used the We proclaim your death, O Lord... acclamation, adapted to the opening and closing passages of the Agnus Dei. The Amen triplex is also adapted to the opening passage of the Agnus Dei, but in a much more festive way. As this Mass setting is based on a 12th century Easter hymn tune (which is in our Worship hymnal, by the way, #452), this was an easy task for me.
