Is the Carmelite Latin mass the same as a Tridentine Latin mass?

I have never attended a Latin mass; the closest one has been in the next state 3 hrs away.
They will be having a Carmelite Latin mass very close that I can attend. What do I need to know before I go?

Thank you!

It depends. Can you find out if it is the Novus ordo Latin Mass or Tridentine? They both are in Latin and are similar. You can do a search on the web for Tridentine Masses and see if its listed. The only Carmelite TLM I know of off of the top of my head in the states is near Lincoln,NE, but there could be more, especially now with the Motu Proprio.

I forgot to mention that the only difference I know of that the Carmelites do is that the nuns chanted the responses instead of the altar boy.

I found at a web site that it is the Tridentine.

Do I need to cover?

Will they have books to follow along?
Will it be mostly in chant?

Thank you for your help!!

Most women cover but its not required. Even a hat or scarf will do. Most Tridentine Masses have red missals at the back of the church to follow along. It probably will be chanted unless it is a low Mass. The first few times you attend, it may seem confusing and hard to follow, but it does get easier with time. I remember the first few times I went, I just enjoyed the silence and beauty of it all.
Also, you don't have to say "amen" at communion and you kneel and only on the tongue. HTH>
