Discussion Question of the Week: In our practice, have Gregorian Chant Propers really ever been the norm?

My thesis is that they/we are trying to promote as the norm something which in practice never was the norm during the past 600 years and more.

A “default” communion canticle: Wisdom 16: 20–21, 26; 17:1.

This morning’s use of the Canticle of Wisdom as the reading for morning prayer in Give Us This Day (alas not used in the Lectionary) put me in mind of its significance as one of the default communion psalms and canticles.
