Liber cantualis

- Monks of Abbaye Saint-Pierre de Solesmes, France
 

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

The Liber cantualis is an excellent resource for the beginning Schola. The book 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!).

The music is in chant notation, but without the florid melismas of more complicated chants, so the selections in the book are easier to read.

All the texts in the Liber cantualis are in Latin, the official liturgical language of the Roman Rite. All music is in neums (chant notation).

The Solesmes edition of the Liber cantualis has a handsome dark blue cover and is printed on quality ivory paper. These books, less expensive than the Graduale Romanum, Graduale Simplex or Gregorian Missal, are a great opportunity for a parish to outfit the schola with appropriate music, and to begin giving Gregorian chant its due "pride of place" in our liturgy.
