Vol. 7 - Nova Organi Harmonia (nn6301) 248 pages

THIS IS THE SEVENTH VOLUME --- The first edition appeared in 1942 and is comprised of eight parts which cover not only the Graduale but the most important parts of the Vesperale and some of the Antiphonary. The entire work is the joint effort of the rector and professors of the Interdiocesan Institute of Sacred Music at Mechelen. The writers include J. Van Nuffel, Marius de Jong, H. Durieux, Flor Peeters, G. Nees, Jul. Vyverman, and E. De Laet. The accompaniments are modal and easily the best we have seen. We know of Vatican accompaniments, not so expert as these, that have been junked because they were Vatican. Apparently no one has junked these and no one is likely to. Many have inquired about accompaniments to the Vatican Edition. Here is the answer.
