Kyriale Romanum (1961)

[Hardcover] Unabridged. Gregorian chant has long transmitted the mystery and majesty of the Catholic liturgical tradition. Newly republished, the Kyriale Romanum of 1961 contains an invaluable patrimony of ancient and medieval chants for the Ordinary of the Mass that can be used with both the ordinary (1970) extraordinary (1962) uses of the Roman Rite. It collects from the Graduale the most frequently-used chant settings throughout the liturgical year, with eighteen mass settings, six credos, and numerous settings for feasts and holy days, including the solemn procession for Corpus Christi. Especially given the August 2007 Motu Proprio of the Holy Father permitting and encouraging the ancient liturgical use, this beautiful and affordably-priced volume is of great value to all who wish to participate fully in the venerable liturgical tradition of the Roman Rite. (Note: This hardcover edition is excellent for long-term use).
