    Hi all,

    Has anyone out there adapted the Gloria Patri tones for introits/communions to English text?

    I use Bruce Ford’s “American Gradual” with regularity and generally only need the antiphon, but on occasion I do have need of the verse, doxology, and antiphon repetition.

    Thanks in advance!

    If you don't mind neums, they are in the Palmer-Burgess Plainchant Gradual.

    My adaptations are attached, assuming you want the Gloria Patri tones for the Introits in the Graduale Romanum (as opposed to the Office psalm tones). For most of the tones, for the last phrase, I give what you might call the literal adaptation first, then a more freely (egregiously) adapted alternative.

    Palmer-Burgess probably has a more elegant solution.

    Richard, you always get the accents in the "right" place, I love it.

    P 'n' B say Holy Ghost, though.

    Hi Richard,

    Thank you—very useful! :)

    If it wouldn’t be too untoward to make a request … would it be possible to reformat these to fit on one double-sided sheet of paper?

    You could always go the Tallis route and say Sp'rit.

    Yes, thank you! :)

    The only thing I wonder is whether it’s possible to orient this to portrait—ideally in such a way that it would still only take up 2 pages?
