Since last year, the church has been singing the ordinaries from the booklet Jubilate Deo, which was intended as a "minimum repertoire of Gregorian chant."
During this Easter season, we're singing the ordinary chants of Holy Mass from the Missa de Angelis (Mass of the Angels).
The chant notes and translation can be found here.
“All other things being equal, Gregorian chant holds pride of place because it is proper to the Roman Liturgy.…
“Since faithful from different countries come together ever more frequently, it is fitting that they know how to sing together at least some parts of the Ordinary of the Mass in Latin, especially the Creed and the Lord’s Prayer, set to the simpler melodies”
“I desire, in accordance with the request advanced by the Synod Fathers, that Gregorian chant be suitably esteemed and employed as the chant proper to the Roman liturgy”
— Pope Benedict XVI
