Solesmes Chant Resource Set

Monks of Abbaye Saint-Pierre de Solesmes, France

Brand New Product — and Great Gift Idea!

We've packaged together three valuable products to make an outstanding collection for the beginning chant Schola. The Solesmes Chant Resource Set contains:

• Book – Liber cantualis
  
• CD – Gregorian Melodies, Volume 1
  
• CD – Gregorian Melodies, Volume 2
  

This set is a prefect teaching tool for the beginning Schola, since it contains the complete Order of Mass, seven chant Masses, the Requiem Mass, four sequences and 40 familiar hymns and other chants — truly some basic music that every congregation should hear (and sing!). A $56.85 value — for only $39.99!

The new Solesmes edition of the Liber cantualis has a handsome dark blue cover and is printed on quality ivory paper. The music is in neums (chant notation), but without the florid melismas of more complicated chants, so the selections in the book are easier to read. CanticaNOVA Publications also publishes a chant textbook, A Plain & Easy Introduction to Gregorian Chant, by Dr. Susan Treacy. The volume now contains English translations for each Latin chant.

A fantastic help are the two CDs included, produced by the monks of Solesmes, that record most of the chants in the Liber cantualis.

The Solesmes Chant Resource Set is not only the perfect tool for teaching chant to beginners, it's also a great gift for your choir director … particularly if a "nudge" might be needed toward some chant in the repertoire!
