A Gregorian Liturgical Year, Volume 4

This fourth volume of the series contains pieces for the Sundays and major feast days of the church from covers the period from Pentecost 18 (Ordinary Time 25, Proper 20) through All Saints. Thematic material for each piece is taken from one of the Propers of the Mass (Introit, Gradual, Alleluia, Offertory, Communion), and the entire collection is keyed to the three-year Lectionary shared by Roman Catholics, Episcopalians and Lutherans as well as some denominational bodies not strictly liturgical by nature. The pieces range roughly in length from one to three minutes (an approximate timing will be found at the end of each piece.) The chant melodies are taken from the RomanGradual (Graduale Romanum, Solesmes 1974).
