If I recall correctly, on over at one of the sites I lurk at, you can download the entire <I>Liber Usualis</I>, gratis. I'll be happy to steer you in that direction, if you wish.<BR/><BR/>But wait, there is more! If you'd like to breathe with the other lung (using the metaphor of one whom I venerate, <I>Sanctus Papa Ioannis Paulus Secundus Magnus</I>), you could do worse than to go to http://www.podoben.com or http://metropolitancantorinstitute.org and fly with the eagles.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy.Bernard Brandthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00159541603126407072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-2191440441320126332007-07-19T22:33:00.000-04:002007-07-19T22:33:00.000-04:00Aumgn,I'll look up the Simplex.

But for everyday congregational singing, it does seem that something simpler should be the order of the day. <BR/><BR/>Not that we're likely to see use of the Propers at our Parish anytime soon, alas...mrsdarwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03446744635277205867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-27956921435010511052007-07-19T19:47:00.000-04:002007-07-19T19:47:00.000-04:00Jubilate Deo is indeed excellent for the Mass sett...Jubilate Deo is indeed excellent for the Mass settings, but, if you want to learn to sing the Propers but are scared of melismas then it's the Graduale Simplex for you. Rather than simplified chants the editors used other settings in the books (sometimes older than the versions in the Graduale Romanum) or dug up chants from the Mozarabic or Ambrosian uses. The Simplex was the book which was intended to be used (and usable) in all Parishes, as opposed to the Graduale Romanum which requires a trained schola. Of course, it didn't happen that way (and it wasn't all because of the folk takeover in church music!).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11604904650166346765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-13712737988987504632007-07-19T14:57:00.000-04:002007-07-19T14:57:00.000-04:00Thank you, Ana.
