As I mentioned in my Symposium speech, those interested in adapting the Gregorian psalm tones for English should first study the above resources to understand Gregorian psalmody. Moreover, they should visit the Lalande Online Library and download all the books called “Psalmi in Notis.”
Most of these files were scanned & posted by the CMAA.
The CMAA new policy (22 April 2015) allows reposting when credit is given.
