Page "Alleluia" Paragraph 10

In the time or times when the word " Alleluia " is excluded from use in the liturgy ( Lent and, in earlier forms of the Roman Rite, Septuagesima ), the pre-Gospel chant either replaces the word " Alleluia " with another acclamation ( in the present normal form of the Roman Rite ), or ( in earlier forms ) is itself replaced by a Tract, while, on the other hand, those earlier forms of the Roman Rite replace the Gradual with an Alleluia chant during Eastertide, thus putting not one but two such chants before the Gospel reading.
