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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anyone who wants to learn Gregorian Chant, the Chant of the Catholic Church, will want a copy of this book. It begins with the basics and has many exercises to help those who wish to sing this sacred chant learn the various intervals and how to sing them properly. A chapter is devoted to harmonizing on the organ to accompany the holy chant of the Church. Priests will find this useful to learn how to chant their part in the Missale Romanum. The Liber Usualis will also become simpler to use and even the most complicated Gradual will soon become easy for the schola. This work is good for the simple choir to the most advanced cantors.St. Alphonsus writes: “a single bad book will be sufficient to cause the destruction of a monastery.” Pope Pius XII wrote in 1947 at the beatification of Blessed Maria Goretti: “There rises to Our lips the cry of the Saviour: 'Woe to the world because of scandals!' (Matthew 18:7). Woe to those who consciously and deliberately spread corruption-in novels, newspapers, magazines, theaters, films, in a world of immodesty!” We at St. Pius X Press are calling for a crusade of good books. We want to restore 1,000 old Catholic books to the market. We ask for your assistance and prayers.
