Hi, Jeff. Could you tell me a bit more about Liber Brevoir. I read the description of the book, but hard to tell the difference from Graduale Romanum and Gregorian Massale which I already have.
Thanks, Mia

Hi, Mia.

My understanding is that it has all the essentials, but is cheaper.

My old priest had one and loved it!

The Graduale Romanum includes weekday Mass propers for saints' days; the Gregorian Missal does not include these, except for a few major days.

Similarly, the Liber Usualis includes weekday Mass propers and parts of the Office; and the Brevior does not have either.

the pdf for Liber Brevior is online (search on musicasacra home page):

..that's the best way to see what's in the hardbound book

It is amazing how much stuff musicasacra hosts !!!

Don't forget that the Liber usualis does not always match the Graduale for 1962.

Aha, I also found this thread which discusses on LB in detail. This forum is great.
