Today is Good Friday, and the solemn rite of the Mass of the Presanctified in celebrated at Saint-Eugène. The Liturgia page is here and the libellus for Holy Mass (which of course is not a Mass) here. The libellus for Tenebrae of Holy Saturday is here.
The rite begins with a lesson from Osee with its Tract, and the oration Deus, a quo et Judas reátus sui pœnam, followed by a lesson from Exodus with its Tract. The Gospel according to Saint John is chanted as the other three Gospels have been. The solemn Orations are sung next (the 1920 Missale Romanum still includes the one for the christianissimus Roman Emperor); these have a name which I can't recall at the moment.

They are followed by the solemn action of the Adoration of the Most Holy Cross by the priests and the people, during which are sung the magnificent Improperia.
The rite of Holy Communion follows this; until (I can't be bothered to look this up Thursday evening) Pius XII, Ioannes XXIII or Paulus VI, one of them, only the celebrant communicated today as a sign of his being in persona Christi at the altar in these days of the Passion. But I have seen more or less persuasive arguments for the communion of the people today, as well.
One must consult the libellus, linked supra, for the texts and scores.
