The Responsorial Psalm replaced the first Alleluia, and the Sequence preceded the Alleluia, which was taken from the Lectionary.<br /><br />Regardless of what it says in the GIRM, if the interlectionary chants are taken from the Gradual, they follow the traditional order, with the Sequence last. It would also appear that the Alleluia is repeated after the verse, even when the Sequence follows. This is not the case in the EF where the repeat is omitted since the second Alleluia follows on from the first, and the Sequence follows on from the second.

The GR Propers require a trained schola to deliver them. However, the two mandated Sequences left in the Novus Ordo (Easter and Pentecost) MUST be done in Latin and chant.<br /><br />Today's Sequence (Veni Sancte Spiritus), known as the Golden Sequence, is attributed to Stephen Langton, Archbishop of Canterbury, who also drew up Magna Carta (the provisions of which underpin liberty not just in England but in the English-speaking world, including the USA). It is not difficult to sing, and the congregation repeats the melody after the schola.<br /><br />Attempts to replace it with vapid Taize "chants" or Webbe's 18th century metrical setting should be strongly resisted.
