Deo gratias jean ockeghem biography

Description

It occurs in the Mass

• as an answer of the server to the Epistle or Prophecies; in High Mass this answer should not be sung by the choir. In the Mozarabic and Gallican Rite the Deo gratias follows the title of the Epistle or the Prophecy; at its end the Amen is said.

  The Orthodox churches do not use this formula in connection with the Epistle. In the Latin Church the Deo gratias is not said on Ember Saturday after the fifth lesson, which is followed by the canticle of the Three Young Men in the furnace, in order not to interrupt the sense; neither is it said after the lessons on Good Friday or after the Prophecies on Holy Saturday and the eve of Pentecost
