n Chants for the Ordinary
of the Mass, with Chants
for other occasions. The
Constitution on the
Sacred Liturgy of Vatican
II asks that care should
be taken in preparing the
books of Gregorian Chant
- #117 care should be
taken in the production
of editions to include
simple melodies for use
in small parish churches.
The first edition of the
Liber Cantualis was
published in 1995 and has
been re-edited mainly to
achieve a good English
translation of the texts.
It contains the most
familiar chants of the
Mass, and four examples
of the Alleluias. A
second part contains
chants for the sprinkling
of Holy Water at Sunday
Masses, seven easy to
sing settings of the
Ordinaries (Kyrie,
Gloria, Sanctus, Agnus)
two Credo (Creeds), Mass
for the Dead, and the
best known Sequences:
Victimae Paschali Laudes,
Veni Sancti Spiritus,
Ecce Panis (Lauda Sion),
Stabat Mater, a third
part includes various
chants in honor of the
Blessed Sacrament, Our
Lady and also chants for
different liturgical
Seasons, Gospel texts
(magnificat, etc.), a few
psalms and the complete
Office of Compline. Many
different countries and
parishes use pieces in
Latin and Gregorian
Chant. This little book,
with an English
translation, may be of
great help.
