1961 Solesmes “Graduale Romanum” Online

Corpus Christi Watershed · March 19, 2013

507 Graduale Romanum Solesmes HERE is no such thing as a “1962 Graduale Romanum.” The Rites were slightly revised in 1962 (for instance, the various classes for feasts) but Solesmes was not interested in revising their books.

Here’s a free PDF download of the entire Graduale, courtesy of the CMAA (Vatican Edition, large print):

      * *  1961 Solesmes Graduale Romanum (PDF)

Some people confuse the “Liber Usualis” and the Graduale Romanum. Basically, the “Graduale” pertains to the Mass, while the “Liber Usualis” also has chants from the Divine Office. Both contain the complete Kyriale.

Here’s a special index, giving page numbers for each INTROIT, GRADUAL, OFFERTORY, etc.

You can also download Jeff Ostrowski’s copy of the Solesmes 1961 Graduale, but his isn’t scanned as nicely as the CMAA copy above:

      * *  1961 Solesmes Graduale Romanum (1 of 3)

      * *  1961 Solesmes Graduale Romanum (2 of 3)

Quick Thoughts

    [Quiz] • “Do You Know Your Hymns?”
    In case you missed it, many readers have enjoyed taking this little Quiz On Hymns. In the context of that article, I included a sensational quote about the Holy Mass by Monsignor Ronald Knox. Moreover, I talk about how Abraham Lincoln's mother died, as well as a fabulous Eucharistic hymn by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
    —Jeff Ostrowski
    William Byrd • Simple “Agnus Dei” Canon
    Time flies! Back in July, I posted a PDF setting of a perfect canon by William Byrd (d. 1623) arranged as an AGNUS DEI for three voices. Last Sunday, we sang that arrangement with our volunteer choir. To hear a ‘live’ recording of it, click here (Mp3). In my humble opinion, this would be a perfect piece for a choir just beginning to experiment with polyphony.
    —Jeff Ostrowski
    “Glory To God” • (For Choir + Congregation)
    I wish to thank everyone for the nice comments I received vis-à-vis my Glory To God setting for Choir & Congregation. A gentleman with a musical doctorate from Indiana University wrote: “Love this setting so much. And I will pray, as you asked, for your return to composition more fully. You are very very good.” A female choir director wrote: “I love your harmonizations, your musicality, and the wonderful interplay you have with dissonance and consonance in your music. So fun to listen to, and great for intellect, heart, and soul!” A young woman from California wrote: “Thank you for releasing your new Glory To God in honor of Saint Noel Chabanel. I'm enjoying reading through the various parts and listening to your recordings.”
    —Jeff Ostrowski

Random Quote

“Unfortunately, on the one hand a deadly error in judgment placed the official leadership of this committee into the hands of a man who—though generous and brave—was not very knowledgeable: Cardinal Lercaro. He was utterly incapable of resisting the maneuvers of the mealy-mouthed scoundrel that the Neapolitan Vincentian, Bugnini, a man as bereft of culture as he was of basic honesty, soon revealed himself to be.”

— ‘Fr. Louis Bouyer, an important member of the Consilium’
