Ite, missa est<\/h5>\n

Ite, missa est<\/em>, meaning \u201cgo, the Mass is ended\u201d, is the formal dismissal marking the end of the Mass ritual, and one of the most ancient formulae of the Roman rite. It is technically part of the Ordinary, because it is common to most Masses, and some of the earliest polyphonic settings of the Mass Ordinary<\/a> from the 14th century (e.g. the Missa de Nostre Dame<\/em> by Guillaume de Machaut and the anonymous Masses of Toulouse and Tournai) provide polyphony for this text. Fifteenth century polyphonic settings of the Mass Ordinary, however, include only the Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei, leaving the dismissal to be delivered in plainsong<\/a>, as it is here in this Mass for St. Donatian. The deacon sings the brief but florid dismissal phrase, with its extended melisma<\/a> on the second syllable, to which the choir responds with an echo of the same melody, substituting the words Deo gratias or \u201cThanks be to God.\u201d<\/p>\n
