Gregorian chant...is...the chant proper to the Roman Church, the only chant she has inherited from the ancient fathers, which she has jealously guarded for centuries in her liturgical codices, which she directly proposes to the faithful as her own... - Saint Pius X, Tra le sollecitudini, no 3.
The Church acknowledges Gregorian chant as specially suited to the Roman liturgy: therefore, other things being equal, it should be given pride of place in liturgical services." - Second Vatican Council, Sacrosanctum Concilium, no 116.
The Beginner's Book of Chant is offered to those parishes, schools and communities who wish to dive head-first into its singing. Using the simplest of the chants in common use it gives practical instruction on reading the traditional notation, methods of interpretation, rehearsal techniques and accompaniment together with a history of its development through to the current day. Great for people starting a Traditional choir, or that would just like to learn to sing the centuries old hymns. A great book(if it were anything less would we be carrying it?). |
