Solesmes Chant Resource Set

[Liber cantualis + Gregorian Melodies, Volumes 1 & 2]

- Monks of Abbaye Saint-Pierre de Solesmes, France

Use: Liturgical Year
Required Resources: Unison voices
Language: Latin

This wonderfully practical Chant Resource Set contains:

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.

Here are the contents of the book's 148 pages; the selections found on the CDs are in bold print:

"Together, these two recordings constitute the majority of chants found in the Liber Cantualis, making it an important pedagogical aid for learning chant. With the aid of the Liber Cantualis and these recordings (Gregorian Melodies I & II) it would be an ideal way to teach a choir to chant."
--Dr. Robert M. Fowells, founder of the Los Angeles Gregorian Schola, California State University.
