Plagiarism[edit]

Significant portions of this article seem to be taken verbatim from the old Catholic Encyclopedia: https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05730b.htm Michael Anthony Abril 17:03, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Exsultet not Exultet[edit]

Exsultet is the apropriate name. "Exultet" translates differently in Latin. If it's a chant of the Roman church, it ought to go by the name and have Exultet in parenthesis. 64.83.198.245 (talk) 18:54, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just what I needed[edit]

This article on the Exultet was just what I needed. It had the English and Latin text, and enough history to suggest that it was not always included in the Easter vigil, and which churches (nations) kept it alive. I am a fan of Latin and chant (and Easter and this beautiful hymn), and wanted a copy. Would like a sung version in both Latin and English. [email protected]


Missing Link: Copy of Written Music For Exultet[edit]

Badly needed is a link to a legible copy of the complete original Gregorian Chant music for the Exultet. Text only is included in the ubiquitious Liber Usualis--but without the music. The music should not be hard to find, for someone with minimal resources. Before the transition away from Latin decreed by the Second Vatican Council of the 1960s, virtually every Roman Catholic church likely had a copy of books containing the music (and many may still have them in their archives). The music for the Exultet was in one of the three volumes which contained the complete Roman Catholic liturgy of Holy Week, beginning with the (Gregorian) chant of the gospel narratives of the Passion by three cantors (which explains the three volumes), in a fashion not unlike the form later adopted by Bach, but with a very different musical treatment. The culmination of the volumes is the Easter Vigil, and in the main cantor's volume was the complete Exultet, with music, the very volume from which he would sing in the ceremony.

Copyright likely expired: original composed in historic times (although the volumes mentioned above may not have been, depending on particular circumstances when published).

In the Internet era, it is practically criminal that a copy of the original music is not easily available. (I have searched and can't find it). This ought to be preserved, and not just in dusty libraries. 20060419 [email protected]

The Latin is the Original[edit]

The English text here is a translation, albeit a poor one, of the original Latin. That being the case, why is the Latin text re-arranged to agree better with the English. Isn't that the tail wagging the dog? Shouldn't it be the other way around? Rwflammang (talk) 16:53, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

New translation[edit]

Any thoughts on updating the text to match the current (post 2011) text? Unfortunately, the current text is copyrighted, so reproducing it here would be a problem. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:59, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind. I saw that the new text was added (although with little introduction, making it hard to recognize as such). However, since the text is copyrighted, I have removed it, but added a link to the ICEL site with the present text (and music) for further elucidation.
