OK, thanks. I honestly didn't know. It's clear I much prefer quiet these days.

Were they in English? Or Latin? High Mass will have singing in Latin throughout (Beginning with the Asperges, the Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Agnus Dei and all propers before the offertory). Both low and high mass may have a processional and recessional hymn sung in English, though neither of these are actually "part" of the mass.

The first hymn may have been the processional but it continued on into the actual prayers of the priest. Then there was another hymn somewhere in the middle (I think after the homily) as well as a recessional.

It definitely was not High Mass singing in Latin (if I am remembering correctly). They were "hymns".

All in all, I was completely distracted by it and had to mute it.

I go to a low Mass, but there is one man who came from the indult who sings during the Mass.

Soloists were not really ever permitted... except for someone called a cantor. He would start out the chant's first line, and the choir would continue.
