@TheEcumenator In relation to your comment, I want to point out that the ambrosian rite is already alive and vital. Almost all the Diocese of Milan (the Ambrosian Diocese with about one thousand parishes) uses this rite. It is also used in one third of the Diocese of Lugano (Swiss) and in some parishes of the Diocese of Novara, Bergamo, Casale, Como.
@Winaska The video (as mostly of my videos) is related to celebrations in Ambrosian rite in latin according to the Novus ordo as promulgated by the archibishop Colombo in 1975. Now it is common that the priest faces the congregation. But you can also find the reverse case (even not commonly). The two forms of celebration were always permitted. During the centuries one of the two possibilities was more "a la mode" than the other. Please note that this altar was built this way in IX century !
@prigionierodizenda Please would you let me know the name of this church? There are some videos of Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk serving the Byzantine Liturgy here and I would like to find them again but the write-ups and titles were submitted in Italian so I am struggling to know how to search for them. The name of the church might help. Thank you so much.
@readermichael I am happy you found what you needed. This is the romanic basilica of St. Ambrose in Milan, Italy. The golden altar (IX century) covers the place where St. Ambrose is buried with the two martyres Gervasius and Protasius. Metropilitan Hilarion celebrated here on May 19, 2010 a solemn Divine Liturgy when he came to Milan to present the italian version of the Patriarch Kirill's book Freedom and resposibility.
Isn't the Ambrosian chant a "flatter" chant, so to speak? Meaning it is sung at a more level pitch with not as much variation up and down as in Gregorian? I'm not a musician so I may not be asking in the proper terms, but hopefully you will understand what I'm asking. Isn't the Ambrosian chant considered "plainchant" that most parish choirs might sing if they did chant(and easier than Gregorian to learn)?
This video was really nice--thank you for uploading it. What church was this filmed in?
I hope one day this rite is fully restored as well as the Mozarabic rite, the Sarum rite, the rite of Braga, the Benedictine rite and so on

@Winaska
This sounds like the Latin preface from the Roman Rite.

@TheEcumenator The Sarum rite is still celebrated, albeit rarely.
