Low Mass
Type of Tridentine Mass / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Low Mass (Latin Missa Privata)[1] is a Tridentine Mass defined officially in the Code of Rubrics included in the 1962 edition of the Roman Missal as a Mass in which the priest does not chant the parts that the rubrics assign to him.[2] A sung Mass celebrated with the assistance of sacred ministers (deacon and subdeacon) is a High or Solemn Mass; without them it is a Missa Cantata.[3]
