Thursday, 14 June 2007 05:29

This project is very exciting. Please try out “Caeciliae,” a new Gregorian chant font developed by Bro. Matthew Spencer, OSJ. It is not in official release yet, so if you want to play around with it, consider yourself an alpha/beta tester.

This is a very interesting book from 1953, a preconciliar “Liber cantualis” of sorts, that uses Solesmes notation and includes lovely English translations to the basic chants ordinaries and hymns of the faith. Here we find the musical foundation of a vibrant parish life.

The beauty of the liturgy . . . more than anything else it deserves to be called the splendor of the truth. It opens to the small and the great alike the treasures of its magnificence: the beauty of psalmody, sacred chants and texts, candles, harmony of movement and dignity of bearing.

-- Dom Gerard Calvet, OSB (1927-2008)
