Misshappycatholic | Series Part #6: Gregorian Chant for Beginners: Does it Have to be in Latin? @mrshappycatholic | Uploaded March 2023 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
Here is Part 6 in this Series about Gregorian Chant for Beginners!
In this video we'll cover three reasons why the Church still uses Latin, what difference it makes when it comes to Gregorian Chant, and a little about why the use of vernacular in the liturgy can be helpful.
Drop me any questions in the comments below!
Liturgiam Authenticam was the name of the document treating of translating the liturgy into the vernacular languages. You can read about it here (or read it directly on the Vatican's website, but I couldn't get the page to load today): ewtn.com/catholicism/library/liturgiam-authenticam-background-and-overview-2188
CMAA's FAQ on Sacred Music - answers 24 common questions - really worth a read!! musicasacra.com/about-cmaa/faq
I make reference to Fr Samuel Weber's "Proper of the Mass for Sundays and Solemnities", which so far is - I would say - the ultimate resource for the Proper chants that I know of. It is available here: amazon.com/Proper-Mass-Sundays-Solemnities/dp/1621640116
Also, I have to give a shout out to Adam Bartlett of Illuminare Publications for his awesome work producing the Lumen Christi series for parish use, including a Missal, Hymnal and Gradual (contains the chanted english propers in dignified settings that the congregation can participate in) - all excellent and carefully composed. I believe he uses the Meinrad psalm tones as a base for his chant publications (you may also know of his "Simple English Propers" book), which are somewhat simpler than traditional Gregorian psalm tones, and a great way to start out if you are introducing english chant to your parish. store.sourceandsummit.com/pages/meet-the-lumen-christi-series?_pos=3&_sid=eb335ff2c&_ss=r
