What is used as introit at your parish on All Saints day? Gaudemus Omnes? Or a Protestant hymn? It is a pity not many people do not want gregorian chant anymore.

I go to a Mass at my OF parish which doesn’t use any music. We instead say the inviatory psalm.
 
Gaudeámus omnes, but I’m attending the low Mass so it won’t be chanted.

Same at the abbey, but chanted (OF Mass). Alas I will miss it as I will be on my way to Montreal to catch a flight to Rome 😃

It’s not a HDO in Canada.
 
Nope, not a HDO… but as it’s a Friday I suspect we will have a big crowd at the cathedral. The “lunch hour” Mass on Friday is usually well attended. I wouldn’t be surprised if they bring out the choir and organist for All Saints, but I don’t know if that would be for the noon Mass or the 5 PM Mass. English plainchant is very likely but will depend on the priest who happens to be celebrating.

I looked up the psalm for All souls and it was very different from the EF introitus.
Why not just have a translation of the introitus ad the inviatory psalm?

That would be be against the rubrics for the OF. By that logic the introit for the EF can be replaced with the inviatory psalm.
 
I found a Swedish version of the introitus for All souls. So first option is the Latin introitus, then the version with vernacular, then the inviatory psalm and then a hymn?
 
What’s all this business about an Invitatory Psalm (not “inviatory”)? That’s part of the Divine Office, not the Mass, unless the Mass is combined with Lauds.

In the OF and EF in Gregorian chant there should be:

Introit
Gradual
Alleluia
Offertory
Communion

antiphons.

In the vernacular, the Gradual is replaced by the responsorial psalm.

In my French missallette, the entrance antiphon in French is a translation of the Latin Introit. Which is the same in the EF and OF.

I can nowhere find reference to an Invitatory Psalm for the Mass for All-Saint’s Day. This would only apply if the Mass is attached to Lauds. Which is permissible.
 
In the end, the All Saints Mass I attended was a Missa cantata despite having been announced as a low Mass. (Surprise! 😀) So the Gaudeámus omnes was indeed sung.
