Who wrote the music for the Catholic Mass used during the 1950's?
Before the advent of Vatican II and the musical changes which were allowed thanks to the legislation and documents therein the music of the church was Gregorian chant, Polyphonic Chant, and Hymns. Settings of the mass (i.e. Introit, kyrie, credo, communion...) were generally speaking Gregorian chant (which while it bears the name of Pope St. Gregory the Great, was not neccisarily written by him) which was written mainly by individuals whos names we do not know in the early middle ages. Some masses in particularly well to do parishes with great choirs would sing polyphonic mass settings which were written by individuals such as Victoria, Lobo, Cardoso, Talis, Orlando, and (most famously) Palestrina. These were composed in the florid polyphonic style of the Rennaissance. After the rennaissance, and due to the decrees in the Council of Trent, the development of new music for actual use in mass stopped. There were many composers who write settings for the mass. The one thing which was allowed to continue was the writing of organ music, and as a result we have many masses written by great composers (Beethoven, Bach, and some other B names). Hymns were the only form of music allowed at mass which were in the common tongue of the people (As opposed to latin). These hymns could be composed by almost anyone, however generally speaking had to have been printed and given ecclesiastical approval. If you are interested in hymns, as opposed to mass settings, then consulting any of the older hymnbooks and looking for any hymns composed before the 1960's. This is the kind of music which would have most likely been used as the hymns at masses.
