Publisher's Synopsis
""The Plainsong of the Mass, Part 1"" is a book that was first published in 1896 by the Plainsong and Mediaeval Music Society. This book is an adaptation of the Sarum Gradual, which is a medieval music book that contains the chants for the Mass. The adaptation was made to fit the English text, making it easier for English-speaking communities to use in their religious services. The book contains a collection of chants that are used during the Mass, including the Introit, Kyrie, Gloria, Gradual, Alleluia, Credo, Offertory, Sanctus, Agnus Dei, and Communion. The chants are presented in their original Latin form, with an English translation provided for each one. The book is divided into two parts, with Part 1 containing the chants for the Ordinary of the Mass (the parts of the Mass that are the same every day), and Part 2 containing the chants for the Proper of the Mass (the parts of the Mass that change depending on the day or season). Overall, ""The Plainsong of the Mass, Part 1"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in medieval music or the history of religious music. It provides a glimpse into the musical traditions of the past and offers a way for modern audiences to connect with the ancient chants that have been used in religious services for centuries.Part 1, The Ordinary, Containing Kyrie, Creed, Sanctus, Agnus Dei And Gloria In Excelsis.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
