At Cluny in the 11th century a lay-brother (conversus) was summoned to serve any priest-monk who wanted to celebrate; rules and obligations, as the reading of a Sequence, during the celebration of the private Masses gradually fell, for reasons of convenience. This history of liturgy shows how "out of the private Mass grew the read Mass – the low Mass".<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In the late Middle Ages, with a growing awareness of the infinite value of the Mass, came a growing desire to multiply its celebration. Spiritual, as well as material reasons were at hand. The most pronounced result of the multiplying of Masses was the increase in low Masses, since most of them were for private requests and had no public character. This trend to the private and the subjective, to an independence from the grand order of things was also displayed in another abuse, namely, setting aside the arrangement of the ecclesiastical year and confining oneself to Votive Masses either chosen at will or arranged according to the rules of the Mass series.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Over time it became necessary for a variety of reasons to celebrate more than one on the same day. It also became customary for monasteries to ordain most of their monks, though originally monks were almost all laymen, and for every <a href="/wiki/Priest" title="Priest">priest</a> to say a daily Mass. For a while, <a href="/wiki/Concelebration" title="Concelebration">concelebration</a>, whereby several priests took a full priestly part in offering Mass, provided all with the possibility to celebrate Mass each day, but this custom died out. Low Mass is considered to be a necessity that falls short of the ideal, which is <a href="/wiki/Solemn_Mass" title="Solemn Mass">Solemn Mass</a>. </p><p><i><a href="/wiki/Catholic_Encyclopedia" title="Catholic Encyclopedia">The Catholic Encyclopedia</a></i> of 1913 describes the result as follows: </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>[…] concelebration was in the early Middle Ages replaced by separate private celebrations. No doubt the custom of offering each Mass for a special intention helped to bring about this change. The separate celebrations then involved the building of many altars in one church and the reduction of the ritual to the simplest possible form. The deacon and subdeacon were in this case dispensed with; the celebrant took their part as well as his own. One server took the part of the choir and of all the other ministers, everything was said instead of being sung, the incense and kiss of peace were omitted. So we have the well-known rite of low Mass (<i>missa privata</i>). This then reacted on high Mass (<i>missa solemnis</i>), so that at high Mass too the celebrant himself recites everything, even though it be also sung by the deacon, subdeacon, or choir.</p></blockquote> <p>By the end of the Middle Ages, critics had grown more numerous, and mystics, such as <a href="/wiki/Nicholas_of_Cusa" title="Nicholas of Cusa">Nicholas of Cusa</a>, or bishops, attempted a spiritual and disciplinary reform, to avoid scandals of botched Masses and abuse of <a href="/wiki/Stipend" title="Stipend">stipends</a>. A special work of <a href="/wiki/Martin_Luther" title="Martin Luther">Martin Luther</a>'s deals with "the abomination of the low Mass called the canon" (<i>Von dem Greuel der Stillmesse so man Canon nennet</i>, 1524). His criticisms were such that priests, who had been living on Mass stipends, could no longer do so as easily, even in staunchly Catholic areas as the <a href="/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Archdiocese_of_Salzburg" title="Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Salzburg">Archbishopric of Salzburg</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Tridentine_Reform">Tridentine Reform</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Low_Mass&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Tridentine Reform"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The <a href="/wiki/Council_of_Trent" title="Council of Trent">Council of Trent</a> was concerned above all with the "Low Mass" (that is, with a liturgy that was recited and not sung), which had become the ordinary form of the Eucharistic celebration in the parishes. In 1562, a special commission was to assemble the <i>abusus missae</i>. The <a href="/wiki/Roman_Missal" title="Roman Missal">Roman Missal</a> revised after the Council of Trent appears as a work that defines, above all, the rituals of "Low Mass" or the "private Mass". Some have argued that in giving priority to the "Low Mass", a practice developed of making the Eucharistic celebration an act of private devotion by the priest, whereas the faithful were simply invited to attend the Mass and to unite their prayers with it as sincerely as possible as a certain individualism developed alongside the <i><a href="/wiki/Devotio_Moderna" title="Devotio Moderna">devotio moderna</a></i>.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Those who during the <a href="/wiki/Counter-Reformation" title="Counter-Reformation">Counter-Reformation</a> attempted to rebuild religious life had to look for different ways and means to enable the faithful to participate in a devout manner.

In the Low Mass, the alternation of functions between priest, lector, singing choir and people had been leveled off to a uniform speaking by the priest alone. However, the Low Mass had acquired such a great preponderance over the various forms of high Mass that without further ado it was used as the groundwork for the development of the dialogue Mass. In essentials nevertheless, the High Mass had to set the norm.
