The primary 'proper' chant book for High Mass choir members in the United States since the 1930s. Set to Gregorian Psalm-tones with organ accompaniment. These 'proper' chants for the entire year are beautiful yet simple enough for most choir members to sing with limited practice. Includes complete daily, seasonal, ember-day, ferial, common Masses, etc. Table of Contents. Also includes Preface, Instructions from the author to the organist & choir members, Preface, rules for liturgical pronunciation of Latin, notes on when to sing the various chants of the 'proper', and rules for good voice production. Large 8" x 11" size, 60 lb. cream paper, sewn signatures.
While written especially for the Latin, Tridentine Mass, these texts are for the most part unchanged in the post-Vatican II rites for Mass and can still be used in most cases.
