Common-Meter Offertories for the Liturgical Year

This volume contains an annual cycle of offertory paraphrases for practically all Sundays and Solemnities of the year, and Feasts that may replace a Sunday. Many of these offertories may be used for Ritual Masses, Masses for Various Needs and Occasions, Masses for the Dead, and Votive Masses. Intended to be sung with a congregation's hymn-tune repertoire. Common meter (8.6.8.6) offers the church musician practically limitless flexibility with which to foster congregational singing of these scripturally and liturgically inspired texts. Congregations consistently exposed to these texts and diligently catechized about the offertory of the Mass will come to a more complete experience of the sacred liturgy.
