    Are these chants sung only during Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament?

    Thank you!
    But why this book is titled "Cantus selecti ad Benedictionem Sanctissimi Sacramenti"?

    Because the music can be used at Benediction.

    But "Panis Angelicus" and "Ave Verum" can be used elsewhere, too.

    The book simply culls suitable-for-the-ritual chants from larger liturgical books. It's a book of convenience, like a very small Liber Usualis just for this ritual.

    A Liber Unusualis, if you will.

    Someone tried to convince me once that a book of that same title actually existed . . .

    Also, its 'Adnotationes' section is a very precious source of information and references.
