Well, to borrow a cliche - 'it's about time!'
This is close to what I have been advocating for years and thought that someday it might come to pass - a real, complete English Graduale with all the propers (all five of them!) for every Sunday and Solemnity. There are some details I would quibble with (and may later), but I must laud this work. Congratulations! While one might have hoped for single alleluyas with at least a vestigial jubilus, the music is well composed and the syllabification (with a slip up here and there) is excellent.Thanked by 1Brian Michael Page -
Gradual and Tract will be part of another project to be named later. ;) In the meantime, thank you for the review.

I can't wait to see the graduals and tracts.
I am compelled to say again that this fulfills a need within Catholic worship that has not been seen to since the council ended. One would have thought that this would have been one of the first things commissioned by our bishops. Instead, they chose the happy-clappy option and, without authority, jettisoned the propers.
I hope that others will take the cue from this and see it as the paradigm that it is. We now need a chant version, and, hopefully, others will follow suit with other choral or polyphonic versions.
Kudos to Mr Page!
The council ended almost fifty years ago and we are just now getting a complete English graduale - at someone's private initiative. It is indeed 'high time!'Thanked by 1Brian Michael Page -
Wow, I'm going to use this a ton! This is an excellent resource.
When will we see a print version? I'd buy it in a heartbeat. -
A print version may see its time, but then I'd have to pay some of the proceeds (if any) to the ICEL as royalties, I fear. ;)

PS: Thank you all! -
This is my new go-to website for scripture references! Great job on the site and the collection!Thanked by 1Brian Michael Page

Just to keep this visible for all to see - and use.
Thanked by 1Brian Michael Page -
Thank you! Oh, and I should mention: it's FREE!!!

This deserves universal attention and USE.
I just noticed that Brian's initial announcement which began this thread has received fourteen (14!) 'thanks'. I do believe that that is a well deserved record!Thanked by 1Brian Michael Page -
We have been waiting since the council ended for this.
It should be on every choirmaster's bookshelf
and in his choir's folders.Thanked by 1CHGiffen -
@MJO Um... I think the record is 27. https://forum.musicasacra.com/forum/discussion/14322/how-many-thanks-can-we-get-on-one-post/p1Thanked by 1M. Jackson Osborn

Um... I think...
Well, Casavant, let's see then if we can't outdo 'the record'.
It's taken fifty years to get this work that should have been commissioned by the bishops the first thing they got off the boat (or aeroplane) after the council.
THANKS!Thanked by 1Brian Michael Page -
What with the Christian New Year just a mere month away, it would be a good moment, for those who have been aiming to do so, to institute the propers every Sunday; or, for those who already do them, to do a slightly festal version on special days.
These settings by Bryan Michael Page of ALL the propers would be a fitting grace to anyone's liturgy and would go a long way to restoring its full splendour.
Thanked by 1Brian Michael Page -
@Casavant...... 28...hehe

Justteneightsevenfive more 'thanks' and this will be a well-deserved record!Thanked by 1Brian Michael Page -
Thanks so much to M. Jackson Osborn for promoting the daylights out of this project for me. ;)
For the record, I am adding settings of the Gradual (as well as the Tract for Lent and Passiontide, and first and second Alleluias for Paschaltide). This will give the musician the option of relying on the Lectionary or the Graduale for their text source for the "intervening chants" in the Ordinary Form.
This new addition just started. Check the liturgical calendar page on the Christus Vincit Music website often for updates.
Peace,

Brian, your link from THIS PAGE for #405 under psalm 30 has a broken link. It's missing the dot before the pdf.Thanked by 1Brian Michael Page

Thank you, Bobby. Link is fixed.

Don't forget this Godsend.Thanked by 1Brian Michael Page

Brian, on the assembly responses, psalm 132 for the Assumption Vigil has "you are the ark of your holiness" instead of "you and the ark of your holiness"
Also curious on the text of the 25th Sunday of Ordinary Time, year A. You have "The Lord is near to those who call on him" where other sources have "The Lord is near to all who call upon him"
Thanks again for this wonderful resource!Thanked by 1Brian Michael Page -
With twenty-four 'thanks' I believe that BMP's project has deservedly set a forum record.
May his work find a place in liturgies far and wide. -
Jackson,
If 24 is a record, it's just been broken. My "thank" counter says 26, at 20h PST -
Page, this is a wonderful body of work. It should get wide use in the higher Parishes. I have some idea of how long it took and how many hours of focused concentration are in this opus.
Congratulations on a job well done.
jefeThanked by 1Brian Michael Page -
Bobby, thank you for the tips. The correct passage is "You ARE the ark..." on Psalm 132, which is fixed in the new version!
Which, by the way, YES, I did say NEW version - NEW AND IMPROVED version of the "Psalm 151" project, which now includes settings of the intervening chants from the Graduale Romanum (Graduals, Tracts, Alleluias, including First and Second Alleluias for Paschaltide). There have been a few minor fixes here and there in the already-existing music as well.

Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement on this project!
Peace,
