FOREWORD TO THE SECOND EDITION
As a composer, I have learned over the years that, as exciting as pre-
miere performances may be, what really matters is a second perform-
ance. And while the vast majority of my favorite works await that vali-
dating experience, I am no less gratified to see The Parish Book of Chant
enter its next phase.
This expanded edition is the result of much user feedback (which
points to many actual usersgratifying in itself). But it also comes out
of personal indulgence, the opportunity not only to correct first-run
omissions, but to make the book better. It is, in fact, the book we
should have published in 2008 (which seems an age ago now). I only
hope that ratty bindings and dog-eared pages, the result of frequent
use, may sufficiently justify replacement copies a mere four years later.
Principally, this edition includes all hymn verses fully notated. It in-
cludes the Sequences, and all four Eucharistic Prayers for the Ordinary
Form. It provides a complete Kyriale, including all 18 chant Masses, all
six Credos, and all the ad libitum Ordinary chants. To acknowledge
growing interest in the Mass Propers, it includes the ad libitum Com-
munion chants listed in the Graduale Romanum. For the Extraordinary
Form, it includes the complete Requiem Mass, as well as the Litany of
Saints for the Easter Vigil in both Forms. All of which makes the book
twice as big, and hopefully several times more useful.
The other significant change was compelled by events, and by yet
another significant development in the greater world of liturgy. The
promulgation of the Third Edition of the Roman Missal in English may
not be as obvious an impetus as Summorum Pontificum was to the origi-
nal PBC. Nevertheless, like all Catholic hymnographers in the English
speaking world, I can hardly ignore the event. It was with utter joy that
I replaced our literal-but-not-for-liturgical-use translation of the Ordi-
nary Form of the Roman Rite with ICELs new English translation,
which comes so much closer to giving us the Latin verbatim. It is a
great aesthetic improvement, for sure. But I would suggest it also goes
a long way toward vindicating the Latin itself, in the ears of the leery,
who never quite believed the chant represented their Roman Rite. As
they absorb the new translation, they will begin to see in the Latin of
the chant a real and ready reference, and realize that the Churchs lit-
urgy, like her faith, comes from somewhere far beyond any one lan-
guage, culture, or personality.
xvi The Parish Book of Chant
With that in mind, I dedicate the Second Edition of The Parish Book
of Chant to Msgr. Andrew Wadsworth, Executive Director of the ICEL
Secretariat in Washington, D.C., and a leading architect of the new
English translation of the Roman Missal.
* * *
For this second edition, I am especially indebted to Professor Peter
Kwasniewski, Wyoming Catholic College, who provided several much-
improved translations and other helpful editorial suggestions. His pro-
ficiency in both the music and language of the Latin liturgy never ceases
to amaze and inspire me. Thanks also to Greg Bennett, with his eye for
detail, and Kathy Pluth, always ready with a pertinent comment.

FOREWORD TO THE FIRST EDITION
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:
old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
(2 Cor. 5: 17, KJV)
What justifies a new collection of Gregorian chant for todays Church?
Based on the interest and activity generated by organizations such as
the Church Music Association of America, we are witnessing a true
renaissance of traditional music for the Catholic liturgy. Leading the
way is Gregorian chant, to which the Second Vatican Council gave
pride of place among the many forms of liturgical music.
This pride of place belongs to chant by its very nature, having been
born of and for the Churchs liturgy, having served her for a millen-
nium or more, having nourished her saints, catechized her people, com-
forted those who mourn, given voice to those who rejoice.
More than any other form of music, chant fulfills the Councils
vision that sacred music be considered the more holy in proportion as
it is more closely connected with the liturgical action, whether it adds
delight to prayer, fosters unity of minds, or confers greater solemnity
upon the sacred rites. To this end, Gregorian chant is specially suited
to the Roman liturgy.


With his motu proprio, Summorum Pontificum, Pope Benedict XVI has
given new impetus for a re-appropriation of chant in the liturgical life
of the modern Church. By expanding the use of the traditional form of
the Roman Rite (now known as the Extraordinary Form), the Holy
Father provides for the mutual coexistence of this form, along with its
modern expression (the Ordinary Form). Beyond mere coexistence,
however, he envisions that the proximity of the two forms can be
mutually enriching, the inherent sacrality of the old influencing the
reverent celebration of the new. Constitutive of that sacrality has
always been the sacred chant.
The present collection is offered, then, as a direct response to the
Holy Fathers call for this mutual enrichment. We have included the
Order of Mass for both Ordinary and Extraordinary Forms of the
Roman Rite, with their musical settings. Rather than reproducing the
official English version of the modern Roman Rite, we have instead
provided English translations that render the Latin as faithfully and
as elegantly as possible. [This new edition uses the recently published
English translation of the Roman Missal, Third Edition.] For the Ordi-
nary Form, we have selected Eucharistic Prayer I, the Roman Canon, to

cf. Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy 112, 116.


xviii The Parish Book of Chant
show as clearly as possible the concordance between the two Forms of
Mass. [All four EPs are included in the new edition.]
Our Order of Mass is necessarily limited to the ordinary (unvarying)
texts, and congregations that celebrate Mass in Latin regularly, under
either Form, will need to supplement this collection with the texts
proper to each celebration (prayers, readings, prefaces, proper chants).
Following the Orders of Mass, we include a dozen settings of the
Mass Ordinary (Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus, Agnus Dei), four settings of the
Credo, and various other ordinary chants. [The complete Kyriale is in-
cluded in the new edition.] We have given only minimal directions for
specific uses of the various Mass Ordinaries. Indeed, congregations are
free to choose the settings that best serve their needs, and may even
mix and match movements from a variety of Ordinaries.
A collection of about six dozen chants of various styles follows,
which are arranged by genre and liturgical season. These chants were
collated from a variety of sources, including Liber Cantualis (Solesmes,
1978), Chants of the Church (Gregorian Institute of America, 1953), and
several traditional hymnals. We hope the selections are extensive
enough to provide for the needs of most congregations, without over-
whelming them. Nor have we limited our selections to authentic chant,
and have included a few popular Latin hymns (Adeste fideles; O Sanctis-
sima) that work well in the context of sung Latin Mass.
In the course of preparing this collection, it became obvious that
differences abound in even the most well-known chants. The editor
begs indulgence for the choices he has made.
The occasional and seasonal chants included in this collection are in-
tended for use at Mass as supplementary chants only. They should not
impinge on the prerogatives of the Proper chants of the Mass, as found
in the Graduale Romanum, and should in no way be allowed to impede
the scholas progress toward realizing a fully chanted Missa cantata, in
either Ordinary or Extraordinary Form. That goal remains the ideal.
In the Extraordinary Form, the supplementary chants provide music
for congregational singing at Low Mass. They can serve as processional
and recessional chants, as well as additional music for the offertory and
communion rites for more solemn Masses.
Those intending to use this collection in the context of the Ordinary
Form have the luxury, when introducing (or re-introducing) chant into
the parish repertoire, of taking a gradualist approach, inserting chants
at various points during the Mass as their congregations can absorb
them. Occasional and seasonal chants provide a good starting point.
Nevertheless, the goal of the liturgical movement has always been, and
remains, the full, conscious, and active participation of the faithful
in the Mass itself.
Foreword to the First Edition xix
That means, first and foremost, singing the parts of the Massthe
responses and chants from the Order of Mass itselfand not relying
exclusively on extra-liturgical hymnody (whether in Latin or English)
to foster participation. To this end, the priest must lead with his own
chant. Never forget that a fully-chanted Mass, as prescribed by the
modern Graduale Romanum, remains the ideal for the new Mass, no less
than for the old.
Summorum Pontificum in no way consigns the Churchs treasure of
Gregorian chant exclusively to the Extraordinary Form of the Roman
Rite, just as it does not sequester the lovers of liturgical tradition,
including Latin, to the Extraordinary Form. A collection such as this
can serve to encourage mutual enrichment, but only if congregations
and liturgical musicians are willing to reevaluate their commitment to
the Churchs treasure of sacred chant, and follow Pope Benedicts
admonition, in the words of St. Paul, to widen your hearts also!
(2 Cor 6:11-13)

PENITENTIAL ACT


The priest invites the faithful, saying:
Fratres, agnoscmus peccta nostra,
ut apti simus ad sacra mystria cele-
brnda.
Brethren, let us acknowledge our
sins, and so prepare ourselves to
celebrate the sacred mysteries.
1. The Confiteor is recited by all:
Confteor Deo omnipotnti et vo-
bis, fratres, quia peccvi nimis cogi-
tatine, verbo, pere et omissine:
[strike breast three times] mea culpa,
mea culpa, mea mxima culpa. Ideo
precor betam Maram semper Vr-
ginem, omnes Angelos et Sanctos,
et vos, fratres, orre pro me ad D-
minum Deum nostrum.
I confess to almighty God and to
you, my brothers and sisters, that
I have greatly sinned, in my
thoughts and in my words, in
what I have done and in what I
have failed to do, through my
fault, through my fault, through
my most grievous fault; therefore
I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin, all
the Angels and Saints, and you,
my brothers and sisters, to pray
for me to the Lord our God.
and may be sung:


1

C Onf-te- or De- o omnipotnti et vobis, fratres,

qui- a peccvi nimis cogi-ta-ti- ne, verbo, pe-re et omis-

si- ne: me- a culpa, me- a culpa, me- a m-xima culpa.

Ide- o precor be- tam Ma-r- am semper Vrginem, omnes

Three forms are given in the Missale Romanum. When the Sprinkling Rite is cele-
brated, the Penitential Act is omitted, and the Asperges me (p. 34) is sung (with
Gloria Patri ad lib.).
4 The Parish Book of Chant

Ange-los et Sanctos, et vos, fratres, o-r-re pro me ad

Dminum De- um nostrum.
After which, the priest concludes with the Absolution:
Miseretur nostri omnpotens Deus
et, dimssis pecctis nostris, perd-
cat nos ad vitam trnam.
R. Amen.
May almighty God have mercy on
us, forgive us our sins, and bring
us to everlasting life.
R. Amen.
2. Alternatively, this dialogue may be sung in place of the Confiteor:
2

M I-se-r-re nostri, Dmi-ne. R. Qui- a pecc-vimus

ti-bi. V. Ostnde no-bis Dmi-ne, mi-se-ri-crdi- am tu- am.

R. Et sa-lu-t-re tu- um da no-bis. V. Mi-se-re- -tur nostri

omn-po-tens De- us et, dimissis pecc- tis nostris, per-

d-cat nos ad vi-tam -trnam. R. Amen.
V. Have mercy on us, O Lord. R. For we have sinned against you.
V. Show us, O Lord, your mercy. R. And grant us your salvation.
V. May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring
us to everlasting life. R. Amen.

The Kyrie follows the first and second option for the Penitential Act, but is omit-
ted if the third option is used. In the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite, the six-fold
Kyrie is sung. Settings that use the same music for each petition (traditionally
marked iij.) are repeated only once. When using a through-composed setting, the
triple invocation may be sung.

man in your own image and en-
trusted the whole world to his
care, so that in serving you alone,
the Creator, he might have domin-

through disobedience he had lost
your friendship, you did not aban-
don him to the domain of death.

And you so loved the world, Fa-
ther most holy, that in the full-
ness of time you sent your Only
Begotten Son to be our Savior.
Made incarnate by the Holy
Spirit and born of the Virgin
Mary, he shared our human na-
ture in all things but sin. To the
poor he proclaimed the good
news of salvation, to prisoners,
freedom, and to the sorrowful of
heart, joy. To accomplish your
plan, he gave himself up to death,
and, rising from the dead, he de-
stroyed death and restored life.

And that we might live no longer
for ourselves but for him who
died and rose again for us, he sent
the Holy Spirit from you, Father,
as the first fruits for those who
believe, so that, bringing to per-
fection his work in the world, he
might sanctify creation to the full.

celebration of this great mystery,
which he himself left us as an
eternal covenant.

PREFACE
The following Preface of the Most Holy Trinity is said on all Sundays,
except during seasons and on Feasts that have a proper Preface:
P. Vere dignum et justum est,
quum et salutre, nos tibi sem-
per, et ubque grtias gere: Dmi-
ne sancte, Pater omnpotens, tr-
ne Deus: Qui cum unignito Flio
tuo, et Spritu Sancto, unus es
Deus, unus es Dminus: non in
unus singularitte persn, sed in
unus Trinitte substnti. Quod
enim de tua glria, revelnte te,
crdimus, hoc de Flio tuo, hoc de
Spritu Sancto, sine differntia
discretinis sentmus. Ut in con-
fessine ver sempiternque Dei-
ttis, et in persnis propretas, et
in essntia nitas, et in majestte
adortur qulitas. Quam laudant
Angeli atque Archngeli, Chru-
bim quoque ac Sraphim: qui non
cessant clamre quotdie, una vo-
ce dicntes:
P. It is truly meet and just, right
and availing unto salvation, that
we should at all times and in all
places give thanks unto Thee, O
holy Lord, Father almighty and
everlasting God; who with Thine
only begotten Son and the Holy
Ghost art one God, one Lord: not
in the unity of a single person, but
in the Trinity of a single nature.
For that which we believe on Thy
revelation concerning Thy glory,
that same we believe of Thy Son,
that same of the Holy Ghost, with-
out difference or discrimination.
So that in confessing the true and
everlasting Godhead, we shall adore
distinction in persons, oneness in
being, and equality in majesty.
This the angels and archangels,
the cherubim too, and the sera-
phim do praise; day by day they
cease not to cry out, saying as with
one voice:
The following Common Preface is said on all weekdays that do not have
a proper Preface:
P. Vere dignum et justum est,
quum et salutre, nos tibi sem-
per, et ubque grtias gere: D-
mine sancte, Pater omnpotens, -
trne Deus: per Christum Dmi-
num nostrum. Per quem majest-
tem tuam laudant Angeli, adrant
Dominatines, tremunt Potesttes.
Cli, clormque Virttes, ac be-
ta Sraphim, scia exultatine con-
clebrant. Cum quibus et nostras
voces, ut admtti jbeas, deprec-
mur, spplici confessine dicntes.
P. It is truly meet and just, right
and availing unto salvation, that
we should at all times and in all
places give thanks unto Thee, O
holy Lord, Father almighty and ev-
erlasting God, through Christ our
Lord. Through whom the angels
praise Thy majesty, the domina-
tions adore, the powers are in awe,
the virtues of highest heaven and
the blessed seraphim unite in
blissful exultation. With them we
praise Thee; grant that our voices
too may blend, saying in adoring
praise:

lmine. Erat lux vera, qu illmi-
nat omnem hminem venintem
in hunc mundum.
There was a man sent from God,
whose name was John. This man
came for a witness, to bear witness
of the Light, that all men might
believe through Him. He was not
the Light, but was to bear witness
of the Light. That was the true
Light, which enlighteneth every
man that cometh into this world.
In mundo erat, et mundus per ip-
sum factus est, et mundus eum
non cognvit. In prpria venit, et
sui eum non receprunt. Quot-
quot autem receprunt eum, dedit
eis potesttem flios Dei feri, his
qui credunt in nmine ejus: qui
non ex sangunibus, neque ex vo-
luntte carnis, neque ex voluntte
viri, sed ex Deo nati sunt.
He was in the world, and the world
was made by Him, and the world
knew Him not. He came unto His
own, and His own received Him not.
But as many as received Him, to
them He gave power to become the
sons of God, to them that believe
in His name: who are born, not of
blood, nor of the will of the flesh,
nor of the will of man, but of God.
Genuflect
ET VERBUM CARO FACTUM EST,
et habitvit in nobis: et vdimus
glriam ejus, glriam quasi Uni-
gniti a Patre, plenum grti et
verittis.
AND THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH,
and dwelt among us: and we saw
His glory, the glory as of the Only-
begotten of the Father, full of
grace and truth.
S. Deo grtias. S. Thanks be to God.

The traditional designations are suggestive, not prescriptive. Mass settings, and even
individual movements, may be used throughout the year. One should bear in mind
the relative solemnity of a given Mass and choose accordingly.

Phrases (marked by double bars) may be sung alternatim between two halves of the
choir. An asterisk (*) in the last phrase indicates where the full choir joins the half
choir (see also note p. 63).

songs. 2. Dare as much as you can: because He is greater than any praise, nor
can you praise [Him] enough.

A theme of special praise, living and life-giving bread is proposed today. 4. That
this was given at table of the sacred dinner, to the group of the twelve brothers,
there is no doubt.

5. Sit laus plena, sit so-no-ra, Sit jucnda, sit dec- ra

Mentis jubi- l-ti- o. 6. Di- es e- nim so-lmnis -gi-tur, In

At this meal of the new King, the new Pasch of the new law ends the old Pass-

What Christ performed at the supper, He urged that it be done in His memo-

the victim of salvation.

11. Dogma da-tur christi- -nis, Quod in carnem transit pa-

nis, Et vinum in sngui-nem. 12. Quod non ca-pis, quod non

vi-des, Anim-sa firmat fi-des, Prter re-rum rdi-nem.
A dogma is given to Christians: that bread passes into flesh, and wine into
blood. 12. What you do not grasp, what you do not see, courageous faith con-
firms, beyond the order of things.

13. Sub di-vrsis spe-ci- bus, Signis tantum, et non rebus,

Manet tamen Christus to-tus Sub utrque sp-ci- e.
Under the different species, signs only, and not things themselves, extraordi-
nary things lie hidden. 14. Flesh is food, blood is drink: however, Christ entire
remains under either species.

15. A sumnte non conc-sus, Non confrctus, non di-v-sus:

Inte-ger acc-pi-tur. 16. Sumit unus, sumunt mille: Quan-

tum isti, tantum ille: Nec sumptus consmi-tur.
[Christ] is not severed by the partaker, nor broken, nor divided: He is received
entire. 16. One partakes [of Him], a thousand partake: these as much as that
one: nor, when partaken of, is He consumed.

17. Sumunt boni, sumunt ma- li: Sorte tamen inqu-li,

Vi-t vel intr-i-tus. 18. Mors est ma-lis, vi-ta bo- nis:
Sequences 149

Vi-de pa-ris sumpti- -nis Quam sit dispar -xi-tus.
The good partake, the bad partake: with, however, an unequal share of life and
death. 18. It is death to the bad, life to the good: behold how unlike is the re-
sult of like partaking.

19. Fracto demum sacramnto, Ne va-clles, sed memnto

Tantum esse sub fragmnto, Quantum to-to t-gi-tur.

20. Nulla re- i fit sciss-ra: Signi tantum fit fract-ra,

Qua nec sta-tus, nec sta-t-ra Sign-ti mi-n- i-tur.
Finally the sacrament having been broken, you should not waver, but remem-
ber that under the fragment there is as much as there is covered by the whole.
20. There is no rending of the thing: there is only a breaking of the sign, through
which neither the status nor the stature of the signified is diminished.

21. ECCE PANIS ANGE-LRUM, Factus cibus vi- a- t-rum:

Behold the Bread of Angels, become the food of the pilgrims: truly the bread of
the sons, which cannot be thrown to the dogs. 22. It is pre-signified in types,
when Isaac is brought to be sacrificed, the Paschal lamb is chosen, manna is
given to the fathers.

Be merciful, we beseech Thee, O Lord, to the soul of Thy servant N.,

Thy Majesty: that by this service of pious atonement, he/she may
deserve to attain to eternal rest. Through our Lord Jesus Christ
Preface (Preface Dialogue, Ferial Tone, p. 13)
It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at
all times, and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father
almighty, everlasting God, through Christ our Lord. In whom the hope
of a blessed resurrection hath shone forth unto us; so that those who
are saddened by the certain lot of dying, may be consoled by the
promise of a future deathless life. For to Thy faithful people, O Lord,
life is changed, not taken away: and when the home of this earthly
sojourn is dissolved, an eternal dwelling place is being prepared in the
heavens. And therefore with Angels and Archangels

Absolution
Enter not into judgment with Thy servant, O Lord; for, save Thou
grant him forgiveness of all his sins, no man shall be justified in Thy
sight. Wherefore suffer not, we beseech Thee, the sentence Thou pro-
nounce in judgment upon one whom the faithful prayer of Christian
people commends to Thee, to be a doom which shall crush him utterly.

avenging justice who, in his lifetime, was signed with the seal of the

Let us sound forth that Ave, the good and pleasing Word, through which the
Virgin, mother and daughter, was made the chamber of Christ. 2. Greeted by
that Ave, the Virgin made fruitful then conceived, who was born of the root of
David, a lily among thorns. 3. Hail, thou Mother of the true Solomon, fleece of
Gideon, whose childbirth the Magi praise with three gifts. 4. Hail, thou who
hast begotten the sun, and brought it to a fallen world. Hail, thou who hast
brought forth the sun, life, and empire. 5. Hail, thou spouse of the Word most
high; haven from the raging sea; sign of the bush: a burning, aromatic shoot;
Lady of the angels. 6. We beg you, correct us, and once we are corrected,
commend us to thy Son, that we may have everlasting joy. Amen.

GUIDE TO SINGING CHANT
This collection uses the traditional square notation, and includes the
rhythmic markings of the classic Solesmes editions. For a detailed
explanation, consult the introduction to the Liber usualis or any one of
several chant textbooks. The following guide, which follows the classic
Solesmes interpretation, is necessarily brief.
1

Notes and Groups of Notes
Traditional chant notation uses various types of individual notes and
groups of notes. Each note, either alone or in a group, receives a single,
equal pulse, regardless of its shape. The classic Solesmes method does
not recognize different proportionate note values (half-notes, sixteenth-
notes, etc.) among the different shapes.
2
The basic individual pulse can
be considered the equivalent of an eighth note in modern music. It
may be stretched by the use of various rhythmic markings (see below).
Of the individual notes, the most basic are the punctum
.
and virga
N
.
These are combined to form groups of notes, called neums, which are
sung in consecutive order. For the clivis
,
, the first and higher note is
sung first, followed by the second, lower note. For the podatus
<
, the
bottom note is sung first, followed by the top note. These two-note
groups may describe an interval of a second, third, fourth, or fifth.
The three-note groups include the torculus ], for which the three notes
are sung consecutively, the middle note always being the highest. For
the porrectus
v
, the extended diagonal element represents the progres-
sion of two descending pitches from one end to the other, while the
higher single note at the end is sung third in the series. The climacus
c

uses a series of smaller notes. Each rhombus receives the same standard
pulse, and the shape merely indicates the downward progression of the
notes. For groups of three or more notes, any of the constitutive inter-
vals may describe a second, third, or fourth (rarely larger).
Repeated single notes in proximity are customarily rendered as a single
note of proportionate value: two punctums
. .
(bistropha) equal a note
two pulses in length; three punctums
. . .
(tristropha) equal three pulses.
The same applies to neums that contain repeated notes, like the pressus
.
,
. Though repeated notes are treated as a single composite tone, the
passage of the individual notes may be marked by a slight swelling of
the voice (crescendo).
The final note in a two- or three-note group may sometimes appear
smaller than normal
x
. This small note is a liquescent, and is used for

1
For this guide, I have borrowed freely from the work of Dr. Lila Collamore.
2
This method follows the classic Solesmes interpretation, which is equalist. Some
theorists do recognize proportionate values in the manuscript notation.
306 The Parish Book of Chant
Latin syllables whose final consonant is voiced (l, m, n, j, etc.) or whose
vowels are treated as a diphthong (au). It is rendered by singing the
regular notes of the group on the vowel (a, in the case of au), and clos-
ing to the voiced consonant or auxiliary vowel on the liquescent note.
Some conductors advocate closing to the auxiliary for the entire value
of the liquescent note, and an unusually warm acoustic might call for
this. Others may find it excessive, and will prefer to wait until roughly
halfway through the note before closing to the auxiliary. When the
liquescent takes the consonant t, it is best to treat it as a normal note.
The liquescent note receives the same rhythmic pulse as any other note.
Additional neums with special rhythmic properties appear below.
Beginning singers need not be overwhelmed by the terminology, but
they should learn to recognize the basic shapes and how to sing them.
(See the Table of Neums, p. 313)
Staff and Clef Signs
Chant is notated on a four-line staff. Notes fall on lines and spaces, as
they do on the modern five-line staff, and moving from a line to a
space represents the movement of one degree in the scale, at the inter-
val of either a whole step or a half step. The staff can be extended by
the use of ledger lines.
The chant staff accommodates melodies of varying range by using two
types of moveable clefs:

Do-clef
marks do on the staff

Fa-clef
marks fa on the staff
Clef signs are placed first on every line of chant. They mark the position
of either do m

or fa, M

on the staff (and thus the position of the semi-
tones, or half-steps, in a diatonic scale), and from these the singer
determines the relative positions of all the other degrees in the scale. In
longer pieces, the range might shift part way through the piece, and
may require a clef change. The new clef appears following a double bar,
and do (or fa) is repositioned accordingly. The various placements of
the different clefs can be confusing, but they are necessary to keep the
majority of notes for a given melody on the staff. In time, with con-
sistent use of solfeggio (do-re-mi), finding the relative position of notes on
the different clefs will become second nature.

Guide to Singing Chant 307
Other notational signs include the flat, natural, and custos:
flat sign natural sign


creates te (ti-flat)
lasts for word or incise,
whichever is smaller
custos

cue to the first pitch of the
next line

cancels

The only accidental in chant is the one flat on ti, which lowers that tone
a half step (to te). The flat remains in effect until the end of the word
or until the next barline, whichever comes first. The natural sign is
used to cancel the flat, if necessary.
The custos (or guide) appears at the end of every line of chant. It is not a
note, but a visual cue for the first pitch on the next line.
Rhythmic Markings and Expressed Notes
Most characteristic of the classic Solesmes method is its use of special
rhythmic markings. These markings are not present in the chant manu-
scripts (though they are sometimes inferred), but are added as an aid
to singers in order to achieve an artful and coherent rendering of the
chant melodies.
As we have said, individual notes receive the same rhythmic value,
irrespective of their shape. However, notes can be expressed in several
different ways, which may affect their relative length:
1. by the addition of a dot:

=

i.e. two pulses
2. by the addition of a
horizontal episema:




3. in the context of a
special neum:
quilisma


sung as


salicus


sung as


The most fundamental rhythmic marking is the dot, which doubles the
length of the note it follows (whether punctum, virga, or rhombus),
giving it two pulses instead of one. Dotted notes often precede a
barline, in which case they receive a slight relaxation (ritardando and
diminuendo). Those that appear in the middle of the phrase may mark
the end of a sub-phrase, and also may receive a slight relaxation of the
tone; however, this is followed by a re-energizing of the tone on the
dot, to propel the voice into the rest of the phrase.
308 The Parish Book of Chant
The horizontal episema
_
affects the sound of the note by adding expres-
sion. Such expression is best understood as a slight pressure and length-
ening (as in the description of the quilisma and salicus below). It is not
an accent, as understood in modern music. It is not a doubling of the
note value. It is much more nuanced and subtle, and should never
affect the overall rhythmic flow of the melody. Often, beginning sing-
ers adopt too rigorous an interpretation that does, in effect, double all
the notes marked with a horizontal episema. It might be more fruitful
for beginners to wait to include episemas until the melody itself, in its
rhythmic integrity, has been well absorbed.
The amount of expression given by the horizontal episema depends on
its context. It chiefly affects the note it is over (in the case of a podatus,
the first note of the group). However, as with the quilisma and salicus,
the horizontal episema should never be rendered rigorously or mechan-
ically. Expressed notes of all types may need to be prepared by a slight
anticipation, and their effect may need to linger by a slight reluctance
to return to tempo. The musical and textual context, the shape of the
phrase, and rules of good taste will, with practice, guide their ultimate
interpretation.
Longer episemas extending over two or more notes affect all the notes,
but with decreasing strength. The first note receives the most obvious
expression, and each subsequent note less expression. Long episemas at
the ends of phrases are most marked; those in the middle of the phrase
less so, and in this case, the final note of the group generally should
return to the regular tempo.
The quilisma

is a special note; as customarily rendered, it gives ex-


pression to the note preceding it (a slight pressure and lengthening).
Otherwise, the quilisma itself is sung like any other note. Despite
appearances, it is not treated as a vocal trill.
3

The salicus
b
is a special neum; it can be recognized by the vertical
stroke that marks the middle note of the group (the same as an ictus
mark, described below, but in this context, it is called a vertical episema).
Like the quilisma, the salicus is rhythmically modified, with expression
given to the note marked with the vertical episema.
Except as part of a salicus, the vertical episema (ictus mark) + does not
affect the rendering of the notes to which it is attached, either through
length or stress. As discussed below, it is added purely as a guide to
ensure proper grouping of musical pulses into two- and three-note
rhythms.

3
The Liber usualis, in its guide to interpretation, hints at the possibility of a trill,
but recommends this more practical rendering if one has not learnt how to execute
these tremolo or shaken notes, or, knowing how to render them, has nevertheless to
sing with others. Most conductors consider this very good advice.
Guide to Singing Chant 309
Barlines
Chant is not measured; its notes fall into unequal groups of twos and
threes. Barlines in chant mark the ends of various types of phrases:
quarter bar half bar full bar double bar

Full and double bars mark the end of a significant phrase. They are
treated as full stops and preceded by a slight ritardando. Half bars mark
less significant sections; breath may be taken, but the rhythm should
not be significantly interrupted. Quarter bars mark shorter musical
phrases. The rhythm should not be interrupted, and breathing, if
needed, should steal time from the note preceding the barline.
Full barlines also serve as musical rests. Following the barline, time is
added using rests that are equal in value to either a single or double
pulse (where the punctum receives a single pulse, equivalent to an
eighth note). The value of the rest depends on the rhythm of the
phrase following the barline. If the first note of the next phrase receives
an ictus, it is treated as a downbeat, and is prepared by two pulses
(quarter rest). If the first note of the next phrase does not receive an
ictus, it is treated as an upbeat, and is prepared by one pulse (eighth
rest). This affects counting as follows:
if the note following
a full or double bar
is ictic:

=


1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 (downbeat)

if the note following
a full or double bar
is not ictic:

=


1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 (upbeat)
In a psalm recitation, the next known ictus following the full or double
bar may be many notes away. Counting back (described below) may
yield a result that seems especially counterintuitive, or that contradicts
the textual rhythm in a particularly unnatural way. In this case, the
conductor is free to add the value of rest that seems most natural.
It is important that the note before a full or double bar (invariably a
dotted note) be given its full value. Singers can enhance the sense of
cadence at these points by singing into the barline, placing any final
consonant on it, or even slightly after it.
310 The Parish Book of Chant
The asterisk * is generally used to signal the end of an intonation (the
opening phrase of a piece, usually sung by a cantor) and the entrance
of all the singers. Some conductors treat the asterisk as a full or double
bar, always adding a rest after it. However, in cases where the note
before the asterisk is not dotted or lengthened in some other way (e.g.,
the first Kyrie from Mass I, page 60), it may be better not to add time,
but to keep the rhythm flowing, and have the singers enter as if they
had already been singing. Experience will judge whether this is practical.
Plainsong Rhythm
Nothing is more characteristic of the classic Solesmes method, nor has
been the source of more scholarly controversy, than the topic of plain-
song rhythm. Even a cursory discussion is beyond the scope of this
guide, but a thorough understanding of the Solesmes rhythmic method
is essential for the proper and artful singing of chant.
4

Of basic consideration is the proper arrangement of notes into two-
and three-note groups, which form the basic pattern of beats in chant
rhythm. The beginning of each group receives the rhythmic ictus, or
touching point. Of itself, the ictus is purely organizational, and indicates
no qualitative change in the rendering of the notenot emphasis, not
lengthening. The basic rhythmic groups of twos and threes are further
combined to form larger groups that either tend to rise (arsis) or fall
(thesis). It is up to the conductor to expresses this pattern of rise and
fall. See a more detailed method for a complete discussion of chant
conducting (chironomy).
The musical ictus may or may not correspond to a textual ictus, the
strong syllable of the word. This subtle interweaving of the musical and
textual ictus is the defining characteristic of classic Solesmes rhythm,
and once grasped, it is the key that unlocks the magic of plainsong.
As a practical matter, the proper marking of the rhythmic ictus is
invaluable for keeping a schola together and moving forward at a
steady, deliberate pace. Within this firm, ictic framework, the rhythmic
markings (horizontal episemas and special neums) provide subtle,
supple points of relaxation and expression to the melody. Conductors
and singers both need to know the exact placement of the ictus and
how to find it, when it is not marked.

Guide to Singing Chant 311
There are four ways to find the musical ictus, which are presented in
order of precedence:
1. as indicated by the
ictus mark:

2. as it falls at the beginning
of a long or doubled note:

=

3. as it falls on the first note
of a neum:

=

4. by counting backward by twos from next known ictus:
written:

A-ve verum Corpus na-tum de Ma-r- a Vrgine:
known, using
rules 13:

A-ve verum Corpus na-tum de Ma-r- a Vrgine:
added,
counting back
by twos:

A-ve verum Corpus na-tum de Ma-r- a Vrgine:
Conductors may need to modify this rule for the sake of musical sense,
or to preserve a good ensemble. They must also determine how much
of this information they want to provide to their schola, or how much
they want to rely on conducting alone to communicate the rhythm.
Order of precedence means, for instance, that a note marked with an ictus
takes precedence over the first note of a neum; the first note of a
double note also takes precedence over the first note of a neum; etc.
Marking all the ictuses helps the conductor and singers see the groups
of twos and threes that form the basis of chant rhythm. This is further
reinforced by counting out the resulting patterns, beginning with one on
the ictus, followed by two and, as necessary, three on the non-ictic
notes. Just as solfeggio reinforces the relative pitches of a melody,
counting instills a clear sense of its underlying rhythm.
Repercussions
For groups of repeated notes that appear consecutively and slightly
separated, the second group receives a fresh impetus, called a reper-
cussion, which should mark, but not interrupt, the flow of the sound.
312 The Parish Book of Chant
The same effect applies when a group of repeated notes precedes a
neum, or when it precedes the same note marked with a vertical epi-
sema. Some cases of repercussion follow:
1. on a new ictus:


2. before a new neum:

The repercussion is best rendered subtly. Should the effect prove too
strong when sung by the whole group, the conductor might want to
assign the task of rendering the repercussions to only a few singers.
Modal Melodies
Chant melodies are modal, and each is given a modal classification
(which appears as a Roman numeral on the first line of each chant),
based on one of the eight ecclesiastical modes.
5
These eight modes cor-
respond to the first four modes in the ancient Greek system, with each
of the four appearing in two forms, either authentic or plagal, depending
on the range of the melody (higher or lower, respectively) and the pre-
vailing dominant (or tenor) of the scale. The final (or tonic) of the mode
is usually the last note of the chant, and gives the mode its tonality.
Ecclesiastical mode Greek mode Final Dominant
I and II Dorian RE I: LA II: FA
III and IV Phrygian MI III: TI (DO) IV: LA
V and VI Lydian FA V: DO VI: LA
VII and VIII Mixolydian SOL VII: RE VIII: DO
Modes are most easily understood as they correspond to scales played
on the white keys of a piano, starting on D (Dorian), E (Phrygian),
F (Lydian), and G (Mixolydian). This exercise shows how modal scales
are characterized by their arrangement of whole steps and half steps,
which fall in different places depending on the starting note, but it is
only for demonstration. In practice, modal scales can be sung starting
on any pitch. Chant does not have key signatures like those of modern
music.
6
The modal classification, and the pattern of whole and half
steps it implies, is the only tonal information given. Chant notation
represents relative pitch only, not absolute pitch.
For this reason, it is essential that beginning students of chant use the
classic solfeggio system (do-re-mi) when learning a new melody, always

The corpus of Gregorian chant employs additional modes, but they do not appear
in this collection.

A few chants use a flatted ti throughout, and are written with a key signature of
one flat.

remembering that do is moveable, and corresponds to whatever pitch is
chosen. It is up to the conductor to choose the absolute pitch for do (or
for the final of the mode), based on the melodic range of the piece, and
how it falls within the vocal range of the singers.
Although the eight ecclesiastical modes do not correspond to the major
and minor scales of modern music, each features either a major or minor
third, and can be described as major (VVIII) or minor (IIV). With prac-
tice, singers can begin to recognize the special character of each of the
modes, including certain characteristic melodic gestures.
Table of Neums
The following table lists the most basic notes and groups:

punctum

virga

podatus (pes)
bottom note sung first

clivis
higher note sung first

torculus
all notes are of equal
value, sung consecutively
-
porrectus
three notes, the first two at
either end of the diagonal

climacus
all notes, including the small rhombus, are
of equal value, and are sung consecutively

bistropha (distropha)
repeated notes sung as a
single note of double length

tristropha
repeated notes sung as a
single note of triple length

pressus
repeated notes sung as a
single note of double length

quilisma
middle note of a three-note
group; the note before is
expressed

scandicus
all notes are of equal value

liquescent notes
pronounce a diphthong
(a-u) or voiced consonant
( l, m, n, j, etc.) on the
small note
,


salicus
the last two notes form a
podatus; the note marked
with the ictus is lengthened
when the first interval of
the salicus is a 5th, the first
two notes form the podatus;
the note marked with the
ictus is lengthened

GUIDE TO PRONOUNCING LITURGICAL LATIN
Successful singing of plainsong requires attention to the proper pronunciation
of traditional liturgical Latin, which differs from that of classical Latin in
several ways. In the first place, vowels follow the Italianate model, and are
sung as purely as possible (within the bounds of vocal taste), with no hint of
diphthongthe elision of vowel sounds common in vernacular languages. The
following table gives equivalents, which hold true no matter the position of the
vowel in the word:
A as in father (never as in add)
E as in mellow, with no elision to the i, as in obey; singers who
chronically make diphthongs of es are encouraged to add an h
(Domin-eh D-eh-us)
I as in pizza; it is always sung with a long e sound, as in feet; this holds
true even when it is followed by a voiced consonant (in = een;
dimittimus = dee-meet-tee-mus)
[Obviously, this can be overdone, and should be modified for
grateful singing, especially on high notes.]
Note: In this edition, I is always used as a vowel; in some editions, I
is used as a consonant in place of J, following classical usage, and is
equivalent in sound to the English consonant y (iubilate = jubilate =
yoo-bee-lah-teh)
O as in motion or for, with never a hint of diphthong to u (as in mowing);
adding an h might help (n- oh-mine D- oh-mini)
U as in truth; it is always sung like a long oo sound (as in boot, not as in
foot), and is never shortened (but or put); it should never be preceded
by a diphthong (as in cute)
Y is always treated as a vowel, equivalent to I above
and , in sung Latin, are treated as E above; they are often written as
separate letters (ae, oe), but are always treated as a single vowel sound
AU is a true diphthong, with A receiving the majority of the pitch, and U
added just before the next syllable; especially in melismatic passages
where the syllable with au receives several notes, singers should main-
tain a pure ah sound for as long as possible (ca--usam, la--udate)
NGU , when the U is followed by a vowel, creates another true diph-
thong, in which the second vowel receives the majority of the pitch
(san-guIs, san-guI-ne, lin-guA, un-guEn-tum, pin-guI-um, etc.)
Otherwise, consecutive vowels are almost always pronounced sepa-
rately and more or less equally (De- i, me- us, tu- um, tu- o, Evangeli- i)
Pay special attention to words that look like English words, but which never-
theless are sung using pure Latin vowels:
Immaculati = ee-mah-coo-lah-tee
In liturgical Latin, certain consonants receive special pronunciation:
C is hard, like k before hard vowels (a, o, u); but
is soft, like ch before soft vowels (e, i, , , y)
CC becomes t-ch before soft vowels (ecce = et-che)
CH is always hard, like k, before all vowels and consonants
Guide to Pronouncing Liturgical Latin 315
G is hard, as in got, before hard vowels (a, o, u); but
is soft, as in gentle, before soft vowels (e, i, , , y)
GN is pronounced as in Italian (signor), it sounds like n-(i), with a soft
diphthong before the vowel (Agnus = an-(i)us)
H is always silent, never aspirant; when sung at the beginning of a
word, it may modify the vowel slightly to prevent a glottal
J sounds like the English consonant y; in some editions, it is replaced
by I (see note above)
R is a troublesome consonant generally, as sung by Americans, and can
be excruciating when applied to Latin; great pains must be taken to
see that it is never significantly voiced (even when it falls on a
liquescent); it should receive a quick flip with the tip of the tongue,
nothing more; it should never modify or interrupt the vowel it
follows; beginning singers may need to draw a line through all
problematic rs
PH is always pronounced like F
S is always hard, as in pass (never soft or z-like, as in was); however,
when it falls between two vowels, it may be softened somewhat
(miserere)
SC becomes sh before soft vowels (e, i, , , y) (ascendit = a-shen-dit);
before hard vowels (a, o, u), it is sk (scandalum, sculptus)
TH is always hard, as in Thomas
TI becomes tsi when followed by any vowel (ltitia = leh-tee-tsee-ah); the
rule does not apply when it is preceded by S, X, or T (hostiam)
X is always hard, like ks; however, when it falls between two vowels, it
may be softened somewhat (exercitus = ek-ze-rchi-tus)
XC becomes k-sh before a soft vowel (e, i, y) (excelsis = ek-shel-sis), but not
before a hard vowel (a, o, u) (excubo = eks-ku-bo)
Z is softened and dental, like dz (azymus = a-dzy-mus)
Finally, in order to achieve the sort of rhythmic fluidity within solidity
demanded by plainsong, care must be taken when executing the Latin accent.
For two-syllable words, the accent always falls on the first syllable; for longer
words, the accent is marked (Laudte Dminum). Unlike vernacular languages,
Latin employs a quality accent, rather than one of quantity, either of weight
or volume. Because this quality mostly involves lifting the pitch, it is difficult
to apply to a text that has a fixed melody. Howeverand especially in cases of
recitation, such as in Psalm verses and other passages with a single repeated
note on several syllablesthe sense of a lifted accent can be achieved through a
slight heightening of the voice, both in strength and, to a lesser degree, duration.
But this can never sound mechanical, and is best achieved when thought, more
than sung.
Plainsong, following the classic Solesmes model, respects the rhythmic impulse
of the music in equal degree to that of the text; the seamless integration of these
two rhythmic elements is the ultimate goal in singing the chant, even in cases
where the two may seem at odds. A gently flowing, steady musical rhythm
need not be disrupted in an effort to convey the Latin accent; but neither
should the music obscure the meaning of the text, which is, after all, the
essence of the prayer it seeks to enliven.
