Our Gregorian Chant, Choir & Hymn Books.

Gregorian Chant is the music of the people. You’ll find it’s easy read and sing.

That goal of the composers centuries ago was to create music that was beautiful to sing, reflected the word patterns and with a sound that carried throughout a church. But it had to be singable by the average person.

The church created chant on different levels, for different feasts but also for different levels of singing ability.  More florid chants, florid meaning more and more notes on a syllable,  were written to challenge singers to seek perfection.

These three Gregorian Chant books are consistently among the top ten purchased books about Gregorian Chant on Amazon.com.

Perfection also exists when singing the simpler chants.  Nothing is more beautify than the simple chants of the Requiem Mass, which have inspirited composers of the years to insert in their modern works.

But, how to get started? 

Learning to read the notes.

A Beginner’s Guide to Reading Gregorian Chant.    View a Video Introduction
Early chant notes were written very large on a single page and hung on a stand for the entire choir to see and sing.  Today’s modern editions make the notes small and they can be hard to read until your brain is able to easily recognize them. And that’s exactly what this book does!  Spanish Version available.
