Revise: Music and the Glory of GodA Mass setting is a musical arrangement of its liturgical texts, rather than an additional hymn selected for the service. A composer may set several parts of the Mass together or just one part, such as the Gloria. The setting allows established prayers and responses to be sung; it does not mean that every text included must always be sung rather than spoken.
