This specialized chant volume (1996), (the “book of concelebrants”) contains the Latin text of all the versions of the Sanctus from the Kyriale along with the four Eucharistic prayers of the Ordo Missae. This follows the ordinary form of the Roman rite and the variable parts of the first Eucharistic prayer. In addition, the solemn tone for the first Eucharistic prayer is included and this volume takes into account the recent addition of St. Joseph to the text of the Eucharistic Prayers II, III, and IV. For those parishes where there is more than one priest celebrating, this is an essential volume.
Author Bio
Since the refounding of the monastery of St. Peter of Solesmes in 1833 under Dom Prosper Gueranger, this Benedictine monastery on the River Sarthe in western France has set the world standard both for the performance of Gregorian chant and the authenticity of the music itself. Commissioned by Pope Pius X to research the role of chant in liturgy and to edit books on chant that reflect this research, Solesmes enjoys an enviable reputation. Its work in liturgical reform and in the current revival of Gregorian chant has been likened to that of the great abbey of Cluny in the Middle Ages. These recordings incorporate new understandings of ancient manuscripts and represent a distillation of nearly 200 years of scholarship in the chant: musical paleography, semiology, and modality. The groundbreaking work by the monks of Solesmes has contributed to today’s resurgence of interest in Gregorian chant as the foundation of Western music.
