== History== Originally, the entrance of the priest who was to celebrate Mass was accompanied by the singing of a whole psalm, with [[Gloria Patri]] (doxology). While the psalm was at first sung [[responsorial psalm|responsorially]], with an antiphon repeated by all at intervals, while a solo singer chanted the words of the psalm, it was soon sung directly by two groups of singers alternating with each other, and with the antiphon sung only at the beginning and the end, as is the usual way of chanting the psalms in the [[Liturgy of the Hours]]. The change to this manner of singing the psalm has been attributed to [[Pope Celestine I]] (422β432). [[Pope Gregory I]] (590β604), after whom [[Gregorian chant]] is named, composed several antiphons for singing with the Entrance psalm.<ref name=CathEnc/> If singing of the psalm was not completed by the time the Entrance procession arrived at the altar, the singers moved directly to the Gloria Patri and the final repetition of the antiphon. In time only the opening verse of the psalm was kept, together with the Gloria Patri, preceded and followed by the antiphon, the form of the Introit in [[Tridentine Mass]] [[Roman Missal]]s, which explicitly indicate this manner of singing the Introit. The 1970 revision of the Roman Missal explicitly envisages singing the entire psalm associated with the antiphon, but does not make it obligatory.<ref>[http://www.acbc.catholic.org.au/documents/200707031933.pdf The General Instruction of the Roman Missal, 48] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080720091216/http://www.acbc.catholic.org.au/documents/200707031933.pdf |date=2008-07-20 }}</ref> In [[Mass of Paul VI|contemporary Catholic usage]], the introit corresponds to the '''Entrance Antiphon''' and is sung or recited audibly throughout by the faithful.
