The 1983 edition had 172 pages, the editio typica altera will have 398. That's quite a difference...
Dear Skyler Neberman,
Solesmes has the project to make a Latin-English book for services, but later. Rome indeed asked Solesmes to publish the liturgical books in Gregorian chant. Recently we have published th Liber cantualis en latin-english. The Heures grégoriennes have been published without the authorisation of Solesmes.
Very sorry, but Solesmes has worked many many years, Solesmes has necessarily rights. I hope that you understand.
Best regards
Fr. Patrick HALA, osb Solesmes
Dear Fathers in Christ,
My name is Skyler Neberman and I am a student of Theology and Philosophy at Benedictine College. I am looking to create a Latin-English Antiphonal for the Liturgy of the Hours similar to what the Community of St. Martin created in Les Heures Grégoriennes. I heard that the Congregation for Divine Worship encouraged the Community in creating that book, and I wanted to humbly ask for you help in my endeavor. I know that the Vatican has given Solesmes the duty of publishing books of Gregorian chant for the Church, do they have copyright ownership of those chants, or are the chants appearing in books such as the Antiphonale Romanum II the property of the greater Church? Essentially, I would like to know if there are any copyright issues that must be resolved in order to make use of all the chants prescribed by the Ordo Cantus Officii, or the texts of the Nova Vulgata.
Also, I would like to humbly ask if there is any other pertinent information or advice you have for me in undertaking this project.
My gracious thanks,
Skyler Neberman
I'm sure there'll be other opportunities to learn pointing. My purpose is to make the authentic signing of the office as accessible as is possible.
