Responsorial Psalms & Gospel Acclamations: Organist's Edition

This collection, composed in honor of St. Therese of Lisieux, contains settings of the Lectionary Chants for every Sunday in the Roman calendar, the principal solemnities and feasts, and for various rites, including weddings, funerals, and confirmation. The Psalm Responses and Alleluias are set in a simple yet beautiful modal style: melodic simplicity guarantees ease of use for cantor and congregation, while the modal style evokes the beauty of the sacred. For the Alleluias, seven different melodies are provided, changing in the course of the Church year to mark the seasons. The verses to be sung by cantor or choir employ the traditional Gregorian psalm tones. Whereas the psalm settings use the simpler Office tones, the Gospel Acclamation verses feature the more ornate Mass tones, the greater solemnity of style heralding the reading of the Gospel, the high point of the Liturgy of the Word.
