Download or read book Gregorian Chant for Church and School written by Mary Antonine Goodchild and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2008-07 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: by Sister Mary Antonine Goodchild, O.P. What a wonderful find this is: an ideal textbook on chant for junior high, high school, or really any age. It is mercifully free of verbiage or exaggerated detail. It is short and completely clear on all aspects of learning to chant (notes, rhythm, Latin, style), and it contains a vast amount of the basic repertoire, in neumes and with English translations. It even has study questions! Many of us have wished that such a book would be written. It took Fr. Samuel Weber to point out that such a book already exists, and now, praise be to God, it is in print again. As the title says, it is the perfect text for Church and school. It came out in 1944 but it isn't in the slightest bit dated. This is priced for mass distribution.

Download or read book An Introduction to Gregorian Chant written by Richard L. Crocker and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard L. Crocker offers in this book and its accompanying compact disc an introduction to the history and meaning of the Gregorian chant. He explains how Gregorian chant began, what functions and meanings it had over time, who heard it and where, and how it was composed, learned, written down and handed on. Crocker explains Gregorian chant and its functions within modern catholic liturgy as well as its position outside this liturgy, where the modern listener may hear it just as music. He describes the origins of the chant in the early Middle Ages, details its medieval development and use, and considers how it survived without, and later with, musical notation. The author probes the paradoxical position of the chant in monastic life -- serving as an expression of liturgical fellowship on the one hand and as the medium of solitary mystic ascent on the other. The book also includes a detailed commentary on each of twenty-six complete chants performed by the Orlando Consort and by the author on the accompanying compact disc. --From publisher's description.

Book excerpt: Music has been at the heart of Christian worship since the beginning, and this lavishly illustrated and wonderfully written volume fully surveys the many centuries of creative Christian musical experimentation. From its roots in Jewish and Hellenistic music, through the rich tapestry of medieval chant to the full flowering of Christian music in the centuries after the Reformation and the many musical expressions of a now-global Christianity, Wilson-Dickson conveys 'a glimpse of the fecundity of imagination with which humanity has responded to the creator God.'

Download or read book Gregorian Chant written by Andrew Francis Klarmann and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-24 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gregorian Chant: A Textbook for Seminaries, Novitiates and Secondary Schools It is readily understood of course that the Infant Church could not promote a notable advancement in liturgical music during the period of ruthless persecution. And still it seems quite certain that even in the catacombs hymns were used in connection with religious worship. Tertullian and later Eusebius, Augustine and Jerome more over give testimony regarding the traditional custom Of the Church in sponsoring antiphonal and responsorial chant as well as the sing ing of hymns in relation to sacred service. After the period of early trial and tribulation the Church was free to foster a definite type of liturgical chant which in content, form and spirit would be appropriate particularly in praising and glorifying God. And the Church, as history convincingly testifies, took full advantage of this Opportunity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Gregorian Chant for the Teacher the Choir and the School Classic Reprint written by Edmund Gregory Hurley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gregorian Chant for the Teacher, the Choir, and the School While it is, of course, proper to have the whole Mass sung according to the rite of the feast, this rule may be relaxed in the case of a new choir, and the easier settings learned first. When you start your new choir class, don't waste time in trying the voices of the boys. Get as many as you are able to handle easily, and start them all on the first exercises. Boys may be taken as soon as they are able to read. You will soon find out whether you have any one whose ear is deficient, by his not be ing able to follow the tune. You may have some boys who try to sing an octave below. These, and those whose ears seem to be defective, should be taken out of the main class and worked with separately for a time before you finally decide whether you will retain them or not. The choir should have a comfortable practice room one which is used for no other purpose. Besides the seats, coat and hat hooks, book closets, etc., you should have a blackboard and a grand or square piano, which should be always kept in good order. An upright piano is not suitable, because the teacher, when using it, must necessarily turn his back to the class. As Gregorian chant can be sung intelligently from its own notation only, don' t get editions of the chant books ln modern notation. If you do so, you will have to teach your singers to attach to the various signs meanings which do not belong to them; and when you come to the stu modern music, all this work will have to be undone. Don't send your new choir into the church before it is properly the work expected of it. The time required for the preliminary tra course, depend a great deal upon the quality of your raw material.
