  French organ masses such as those of F. Couperin (Parishes), Grigny, Giga=
ult, etc., were performed with chant alternating with the organ versets, ge=
nerally beginning with Kyrie Omnipotens genitor. The chants are available i=
n any Liber usualis, but I'm looking for the versions current in Paris in t=
he 17c--they were often sung in measured rhythm, and it's obvious from the =
sections quoted in the plein jeu versets that the notes were different as w=
ell.=20
  It's strange that I've not been able to find editions of organ masses tha=
t include this chant, or articles on French organ masses that reproduce the=
 chant from French chant-books. Does anyone have such versions?  =20
