These are terms which relate to the way in which Catholics worshipped before the changes of Vatican II and in today's Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite. A low Mass was one in which the priest did everything. It might, or might not, have singing, and only two candleswere lit. A high Mass involved at least three sacred ministers: priest, deacon and subdeacon. It had 6 candles lit and there was always a procession, incense, candle bearers at the Gospel, and the singing of such parts as the Kyrie, Gloria and Sanctus.

Roman Catholic AnswerThey used to be called Low Mass (the priest sang nothing), High Mass (a Mass sung by the priest without a deacon or subdeacon), Solemn Mass (Mass celebrated with a deacon and subdeacon), and a Pontifical Mass (Solemn Mass by a pope, cardinal, bishop, or abbot with prescribed ritual).
