Ok, this just came in. 2000 pages so beware. 1958 publication of Solesmes, very rare. It is called Mass and Vespers, a sort of hyper-LiberU, with completel English translations for propers and readings and everything. A masterwork that surpasses anything ever printed in the history of chant - my view.
Here's a routine reminder: Avoid flames: critique principles, not people. Be discriminating but don't nitpick. Be academic not acerbic. Be principled not polemical.
This is worth to be published. I would buy "Mass and Vesper" if I have to buy either M&V (2288 pages) or Liber Usualis (2340 pages). Thank you, Dr. Mahrt!
This is a terrific book. For most people this would indeed be a better buy that the Liber Usualis. There's also an abbreviated French version, Paroissien Romain No. 904, which is likewise scarce.
Ok this is uploaded and bookmarked. Sorry so late. X-treme procrastination!
