"The musical tradition of the universal Church is a treasure of inestimable value, greater even than that of any other art. The main reason for this pre-eminence is that, as sacred song united to the words, it forms a necessary or integral part of the solemn liturgy." Vatican Council II, Sacrosanctum Concilium ¶112a, Dec 4, 1963

Not that I plan on having need for this anytime soon, but I was curious about: what exactly are the Propers for a (Ordinary Form) Confirmation Mass with a bishop? I heard that there's a special set of Propers for a Confirmation Mass, but I can't find them anywhere. I'd like to have a copy of them to print and distribute to the members of a schola that I'm a part of.
I think for a good chunk of the liturgical year you do the readings and propers assigned for the day, and in Ordinary time you may use a votive Mass of the Holy Spirit, unless your ordinary or his OofW has decreed otherwise.
(Save the Liturgy, Save the World)
Here is a file with all the musical possibilities and sources.
Your modern (1979) Graduale Romanum lists the requisite chants (with their various options) on page 644 (see attached). I think, in the Extraordinary Form, Confirmation, if done in the context of Mass at all, is connected to the Mass of the day; at any rate, the Liber gives no particular set of Propers for the Rite.
You should probably also learn the traditional chant of Confirmation, the antiphon Confirma hoc Deus (Liber usualis p. 1844; also PBC p. 98), which is sung at the appropriate time ("When all are confirmed [and] the Bishop washes his hands [of chrism]...").

All these replies were extremely useful. Thank you.
