  • Missa Cantata (Latin for "sung Mass" or "chanted Mass") is a form of Tridentine Mass defined officially as a Mass with chant celebrated without sacred ministers, i.e. , deacon and subdeacon. It has sometimes, though rarely, been called Missa cantata sine Ministris (Sung/Chanted Mass without the Ministers). The Ceremonial for the Use of the Catholic Churches in the United States of America (commonly called the "Baltimore Ceremonial") published upon the request of the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore (1884), called it "High Mass without Deacon or Sub-Deacon" (page 67). In his 1910 article "Liturgy of the Mass" in the Catholic Encyclopedia Adrian Fortescue said: "A sung Mass (missa Cantata) is a modern compromise" (between a High Mass and a Low Mass). He also said: "It is really a low Mass, since the essence of high Mass is not the music but the deacon and subdeacon. " The latter statement has been contradicted officially by the Code of Rubrics of Pope John XXIII, which classified Missa Cantata as a subcategory of "Mass with Chant", and defined "Low Mass" as Mass in which the priest does not chant the parts that the rubrics assign to him for chanting.
