Finally! A Catholic hymnal that doesn't mimic or “build upon” Protestant hymnals: www.ccwatershed.org/hymn - - - The Brebeuf hymnal is a 932-page Pew Book. - - - 5375
I am in college and have just begun my Music Appreciation course. Our first online assignment is an article on Gregorian chants and it's gradual absence from the church over the decades that have passed. I must say, I used to be afraid, when I was younger, to listen to it because I didn't understand what was being said; frankly, I thought it sound weird and scary. However, now, as an adult, listening to this almost brought me to tears as I read the translation on the side. I see why this was considered one of the highest forms of worship. The voice in this recording is absolutely beautiful, and to know that he's praising our Almighty Jesus for His sacrifice on the cross just makes it more touching; I have a new found appreciation for this style of worship.
That's beautiful -- thanks for sharing it. Have known and loved the Hymnal 1940 for much of its lifetime but am just getting to know this wonderful chant through it (#63, The royal banners forward go).
Absolutely beautiful, as always! There is something both supremely satisfying and utterly comforting about beautiful chant, especially Latin chant, sung in the gregorian style.
Am reading Thomas Dilworth's biography of the painter and writer David Jones, one of whose loveliest works depicts the singing of Vexilla Regis Prodeunt

The voice of an Angel chosen by Christ to chant for Him. It's so special. Nothing can compare. Absolutely Heavenly. 🙏♥️
