    This is in three volumes, composed by Abbe Ferdinand Portier, to accompany the chants of the Graduale Romanum (1974). Published in 1984, this first volume contains accompaniments for the Solemn Masses and principal feasts of the Church Year. The second has accompaniments for the seasons of Advent and Lent and the third contains the propers for the Sundays of Ordinary Time. These elegant accompaniments are a model of simplicity and are models for harmonizing and improvising on the various chants. A great resource for organists and scholars alike.

    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.
