    Hi everybody!

    I want to share with you all the news that two days ago I published a new page of organ resources in my apostolate website of gregorian chant (verbumgloriae.es) in which you will find accompaniment scores for:
    (a) Vespers of all year round -1962's rubrics- (with the propers of Spain and the diocesis where I reside, which I know will not be of much use to you, but the rest of Vespers sure could!),
    (b) all year round's Compline -1962's rubrics-,
    (c) a bunch of other hours of the Divine Office (some in recto tono) which I have eventually accompanied,
    (d) the ordinary of the Mass and its sung responses, all in a book compiled by me (also separately), and other books gathered from internet sites such as CCWatershed or Archive.org.
    (e) the propers of the Mass (basically the Nova Organi Harmonia and Potiron's Graduel Parossiel) and
    (f) a repertory of gregorian chants (aproximately 365, some of them composed by me -the accompaniment, I mean- and most of them extracted from books).

    It is, basically, the full gregorian chant organ accompaniment repertory I have gathered and compiled for my own work as organist and cantor in this past four years, more or less, and I intend to, God willing, update it with new repertory as I implement it.

    I know the site is in Spanish (any web explorer nowadays may have options to translate it) and so are the files (since my aim is to reach Spanish speaking countries) but its gregorian chant remains in the universal and perennial latin -of course!-, so I thought it could also serve some of you.

    And wishing you find it useful, may you all have a holy Lent!

    Just a comment: It would be nice if the composers of the accompaniments were all credited at the beginning of the scores.

    Thank you for your comment, Ted! You are right. I just began doing all those files years ago without any concern about anything else but my practical needs, for it was something private only I used, and I did it all without planning much ahead. For instance, once I wanted to change a thing in every music sheet and immediately forgot about it when saw I had hundreds of them. Note that not even my accompaniment compositions are credited. I mean, it is not like I am trying to steal anybody's work, just reckless about how some things should be done.

    If you would like to know, composers found in my files that come to my mind now are Potiron, Bragers, Bas, F. Portier, Desrocquettes, Fr. X. Mathias, Rossini, those of the NOH, Fr. Alcácer, and probably some others I do not recall now, but mainly the first four. And some of the digitized music sheets are my own which, like I said, are not credited neither (I try to copy Potiron's style of accompaniment).

    Thanks for the understanding and the time to check and comment!

    I've already used your videos for helping my Spanish choir learn some of the chants. Thanks for all the hard work!
