The purity and simplicity of Gregorian chant is what fed the musical and liturgical life of Christianity for more than a millennium before there were any Protestants. But after the reforms of the Vatican I councils in the 1960s, chant went into disuse. Gregorian chant is back, and more popular than it has been in the last forty years. This handy book is for musicians of all denominations and levels of ability to sing chant, and to understand it more than ever before. New for the second edition of this classic work are: an entirely new interior design that is easier to navigate and read, many additional chants, and historical and spiritual introductions to each of them.

A book introducing the earliest neumes which were the precursors to the current-day square chant notation. This is a wonderful resource leading to the use of the Graduale Triplex and Offertoriale Triplex, two chant books which contain notation from the earliest chant manuscripts printed above the standard square notation.
Enjoy learning about the ancient notation with Dr. Robert Fowell’s handbook: Chant Made Simple: An introduction to the Ancient Neumes. Dr. Fowells shares insights on the practical and symbolic meanings of the ancient neumes, as well as the rhythm, melody, and basics of Latin pronunciation. He takes a selection of well-known chants, from the Graduale Triplex, and uses these as teaching tools, offering probable interpretations of the ancient neumes while learning these pieces.
