The Catholic Choirbook Anthology

Our Catholic Choirbook series contains music carefully chosen with texts that are theologically sound  and sung to great music in both English and Latin. The Catholic Choirbook Anthology has been gleaned from Choirbooks 1-5, putting the most useful music in one affordable book. Added to that music is a section of hymns in English that is also available as an independent book for a choir or congregation as A Catholic Pew Hymnal. 

The Anthology offers many works with identical texts….get your choir singing the traditional Catholic hymns that people love, then some newer hymns and begin working on Ave Verum in chant.  Once they've mastered the words, then sing it as set by Mozart, then by another composer and another.  

Catholic choirs no longer have to struggle to find and afford music but rather may freely download music here and freely [and legally] copy and share it. This is made possible by  donations and purchases.

As Gregorian Chant retakes its place within the Catholic Church there are tremendous resources out there to which we have added our beginner's books. Be sure to visit Musica Sacra, join the forum there and also explore the chant books and literature there as well and purchase or download The Parish Book Of Chant. Gary Penkala's CanticaNova also is full of great information about traditional Catholic music and deserves a bookmark on your computer. Dr. Susan Treacy's A Plain and Easy Introduction to Gregorian Chant may be found there and should also be found on the bookshelf of every Catholic priest and musician.

Our own Beginner's Guides to Gregorian Chant are a humble attempt to encourage everyone to learn to read the simple way that music written for chant. When the notes go up, you sing higher, when they go down you sing lower - that's how easy it is.  

The Gregorian Chant Coloring Book may sound like child's play, but it contains a guide to reading chant so that children and adults can have fun while learning.  Our free chant school offers Video lessons.

We also work as a publishing house, editing and producing hymnals for churches that wish to have a custom hymnal that meets their needs.  We began by producing hymnals of traditional Eucharistic hymns followed by one of Marian hymns, then combined them with Benediction hymns into a collection. Please contact us if you would like a quote on producing a hymnal for you.  Interested in creating your own hymnal and want public domain hymns to download? Try English Hymns in the Commons.
