* *  1909 Schwann Graduale Romanum (PDF)

• Römisches Gradualbuch : : Auszug aus der vatikanischen Ausgabe des GRADUALE ROMANUM mit deutscher Übersetzung der Rubriken und Texte • Author: Ausgabe Schwann U1 • Publishing Information: Düsseldorf : : Druck und Verlag von L. Schwann : : 1909 (is the general assumption) • 1909 Graduale Romanum in Gregorian Notation by Schwann. • Imprimatur in 1909 by Dr. Kreutzwald, as well as a 1907 and 1908 decree. That’s probably why the library says it was published in 1909 •

This is identical to the 1908 edition (and the typesetting was xerox copied in 1953 by Abbot Urbanus Bomm, O.S.B., Karl Gustav Fellerer, and Msgr. Johannes Overath) except that this 1908 edition—which is called “Editio Schwann U1” instead of “Editio Schwann P”—contains along the bottom of each page a translation of the Latin into German.

Quick Thoughts

19 May 2022 • “Trochee Trouble”

I’m still trying to decide how to visually present the “pure” Editio Vaticana scores, using what is (technically) the official rhythm of the Church. You can download my latest attempt, for this coming Sunday. Notice the “trochee trouble” as well as the old issue of neumes before the quilisma.

16 May 2022 • Harmonized Chant?

This year’s upcoming Sacred Music Symposium will demonstrate several ways to sing the CREDO at Mass. This is because—for many parishes—to sing a full-length polyphonic CREDO by Victoria or Palestrina is out of the question. Therefore, we show options that are halfway between plainsong and polyphony. You can hear my choir rehearsing a section that sounds like harmonized plainsong.

14 May 2022 • “Pure” Vatican Edition

As readers know, my choir has been singing from the “pure” Editio Vaticana. That is to say, the official rhythm which—technically—is the only rhythm allowed by the Church. I haven’t figured out how I want the scores to look, so in the meantime we’ve been using temporary scores that look like this. Stay tuned!

Random Quote

It is frightful even to think there are children, victims of abortion, who will never see the light of day.
