Latin pronunciation-your favorite resources?
-
I’m looking for something to assist my choir with their Latin outside of rehearsals. Online and print resources are good, especially print for the several older choir members who do not use the internet. Something that works well with singers who are new to it, simple and straightforward. Thanks!

What about the back of the Parish Book of Chant?

Echoing JonathanKK, in the beginning of many Rossini books is a Latin pronunciation guide.Thanked by 1StimsonInRehab

Thanks for this question. I’m having not so much pronunciation troubles but slight accent variation issues so I’ve also posed a similar question but I’ll look at these resources too.

Even some Libers have a one-page guide. German is rather harder to simplify: I worked pretty hard to cook my Mozart-Latin down to 2 pages.

As long as you do not use the "English" or "German" pronunciation, you are good to go!
Here is a great set of rules thanks to EWTN: https://www.ewtn.com/expert/answers/ecclesiastical_latin.htm

The "Italian Latin" chapter of Timothy McGee's Singing Early Music is a good concise guide. For something more thorough, go with Harold Copeland's Singing in Latin. Both should be available from Amazon or similar sources.Thanked by 1M. Jackson Osborn
