“Urbanite Hymns” • What are those?

Dr. Aaron James, who earned a double doctorate, has stated publicly that the Saint Jean de Brébeuf Hymnal does a wonderful job explaining—by means of gorgeous color plates—the difference between the “Pre-Urbanite” hymns and those which were modified by Pope Urban VIII (d. 1644). Dr. James calls the Brébeuf treatment of the urbanite reform “a model of clarity.”

28 November 2022 • FEEDBACK

“I can’t thank you enough for that four-part download of the Graduale with 5 lines. That is absolutely brilliant! Since I and another guy from the choir chant the Traditional Propers every Sunday, it has proven to be an invaluable resource. Great job of scanning it, too.” —Email received this morning from S.M.D.
