Holy Week Chants

Holy Week Chants@2x

Chants of Holy Week from the Missale Romanum (1962). So that no book switching is required, everything is included to sing each of the Masses (and other services) in Gregorian Chant, with Psalms, Antiphons, Hymns, and Mass Ordinaries.

The Latin chants and prayers are printed alongside or inline with English translations. Rubrics for each part of the rites are concise, but more specific to the choir and singers.

Extensive appendices with simplified chants of longer Tracts, additional antiphons and ancient hymns.
