    In preparing the Propers for the upcoming Feast of St. Michael, I noticed that pp. 453-454 are missing from Dom Johner's,"The Chants of the Vatican Gradual," one of the CMAA online resources. Does anyone have access to those missing pages?

    In the printed book, pp. 452-453 are missing. Here's a PDF file with 451-454:

    Thanks so much, chonak.

    One of the passages within the pdf file you posted (Offertory Proper), really struck me:
    "From the angel's golden censer came rays of heat and the glow of fire. In a similar manner the soul of the creative or imitative artist must glow. That which proceeds from the soul must ascend upward to the presence of God, must seek to glorify Him. Only then will our chant lift the hearts of the faithful aloft to God."
