I am ashamed...

.... at how few I know (so small a number, that I will not name it.)

What is the universal music of Catholic people?
...a short list of music that Catholic people are likely to sing at Mass during the year, a core repertory that might be the foundation of a universal hymnal.

Adoro Te Alma redemptoris Anima Christi Asperges me Attende Domine Ave Maria Ave Maris stella Ave regina Caelorum Ave verum Christus vincit Confirma hoc Cor Jesu Creator Alme Siderum Crucem Tuam Adoramus Crux Fidelis Da pacem Ecce nomen Domini Gloria, laus et honor Hodie Christus Inviolate Iste Confessor Jesu dulcis Litany of Saints Magnificat Maria Mater gratiae O filii et filiae O lux beata Trinitas O Panis dulcissime O Salutaris Oremus pro Pontifice Pange lingua Panis angelicus Parce Domine Pater Noster Puer natus Regina caeli Rorate caeli Salve mater Salve Regina Stabat Mater Sub tuum praesidium Tantum Ergo Te Deum Te lucis Tota pulchra es Ubi Caritas Veni, veni, Emmanuel Veni Creator Vexilla Regis Vidi Aquam

On the other hand, I know a great number of the texts i do not know in their authentic chant form in some other decent (or at least, serviceable,) setting.
And there seem to be a few serious omissions.
Gotta love that New Liturgical Movement.
Now THEY are Saving the World.....
