Sung Rosary
"Are those the same as in the Cantus Selecti [PDF], page 147? (Between chants No. 123 and 124 of this book.)" Almost... Some of the Antiphons have identical text and melody, others have different text and melody. N.B. This book has a mo…

Sung Rosary
My children sing the Rosary... When they are older I hope they can sing the Antiphons to introduce each mystery (Manuel des Processions et Benedictions..., Desclee, 1921)

Catholics do not stop attending Mass if they do not like the music.
When I am serving at a sung Mass, I do not usually sing, there are other things to do while the choir is singing. This can not be considered to be sinful. When I am sitting with my family in the congregation I usually do not sing, I have other thin…

I wondered is this referring to the Rubrical changes... page XV of 1952 L.U. same page in 1962 ed. on Musica Sacra Part I: The suggestion of singing the Introit verses if there is time added to 1962 ed. Part VI: The suggestion of sing the 'anc…

The licitness of using "isons" for the propers.
As a general principle, polyphony is licit, and accompaniment is licit, but inventing or hybridizing a chant form is not. But chant has been invented/hybridized, and recently. Looking at the Hymns we can see that melodies used in Liber Antiphonariu…

Help Needed Finding the Music to a Latin Hymn
@ScottKChicago Many thanks, this sounds very much like the melody (tune) on pg. 1116 of the L.U. We rather like it and always use it when we can. N.B. There are Dominican and Monastic variations of this melody.

Using Communion verses with the Communio chant at an EF Mass
There is no problem in using the neo-vulgate in the EF, I have several 1961 Holy Week books (used to update older editions of the L.U.) that have both versions of the psalms. BUT... 1. The texts of the EF are from the Vulgate. 2. It is very confusin…

Digitized Liber, in Gregorio format?
The typesetting used by all these different groups is not compatible. I use Caeciliae font, which has a different look to the other font based work. Gregorio could be the way forward, as you can keep to a fixed format. 'We' would need t…

Digitized Liber, in Gregorio format?
The 1962 L.U. is out of copyright in the US, but I believe it is in copyright in at least some parts of Europe. As for the question is anyone working on a re-typeset version... Including Gregorio, the St. Meinrad fonts, Festa Dies, Caeciliae etc.,…

Hymn to St. Anne
I have had another look around for some more information, but there does not seem to be much... I note that the other Hymns to Saint Anne are also shortened in the AM, and in my experience it is more likely for verses to be omitted over time. We …
