Regarding the singing of the Passion gospel:
We have always had three of the monks (the abbot as Christ, a monk
as narrator, and a third for the other parts) chant the Passion
gospel, without the congregation "singing along." After all, even
though sung, it is a liturgical reading for the congregation to
listen to, not for them to join in proclaiming aloud. Therefore,
we have never supplied the congregation with printed music for singing
along during the gospel.
We were taken aback this year that for the first time in our history
a few persons in the congregation attempted to join in singing the
gospel, making up their own melodies and thereby throwing off the
monk who was to sing those parts.
