1. I love you, Lord, my strength, my rock, my fortress, my savior. God, you are the rock where I take refuge; my shield, my mighty help, my stronghold.

2. In my anguish I called to you, Lord; I cried to you, God, for help. From your temple you heard my voice; my cry came to your ears.

3. You snatched me from my powerful foe, from my enemies whose strength I could not match. They assailed me in the day of my misfortune, but you, Lord, were my support.

4. So I will praise you, Lord, among the nations: (first and last measures) I will sing a psalm to your name.

Advent, Blessed Virgin Mary

1. To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul. I trust you, let me not be disappointed. Do not remember the sins of my youth. In your love remember me.

2. The Lord is good and upright. He shows the path to those who stray, he guides the humble in the right path, he teaches his way to the poor.

3. His ways are faithfulness and love for those who keep his covenant and will. The Lord’s friendship is for those who revere him; to them he reveals his covenant.

Canticum NovumGregorian Chant for Today’s Choirs

From scholar Anthony Ruff, OSB, associate professor of theology and liturgical music at St. John’s University, comes a collection of Gregorian chant for choirs. The book contains 100 hymns and antiphons with psalm verses for every season and occasion—perfect for prelude, at the preparation of gifts, or during Communion. These practical compositions range from very easy to moderately difficult and are drawn from the Graduale Simplex (GS), Antiphonale Monasticum (AM), Liber Hymnarius (LH), and Graduale Romanum / Graduale Triplex (GR/GT).

A word-by-word English translation of the Latin responses is provided to aid the singers’ understanding. The psalm verses are in Latin and English on facing pages with easy-to-follow pointing to match the psalm tones. All chant melodies are on both four- and five-lined staves; this provides the perfect way to double-check your reading of the traditional notation, and also presents two notation options from which to choose, according to your preference.

The English psalm verses will be from the Revised Grail Psalter (publication date pending final approval from the Holy See). The psalm tones for the English verses are from St. Meinrad’s Archabbey.

Father Ruff has corrected many of the melodies in accordance with the most significant manuscripts and the latest chant editions. Early neumes of the St. Gall school from Hartker (H) and Einsiedeln (E) are also provided for those who wish to consult the early neumes to aid their interpretation.

The introductory material will provide guidance for interpreting and performing this form of notation. Ample explanatory materials will be included: helpful charts with names and explanations of both the early, lineless neumes as well as the four-line, square-note neumes; an explanation of the psalm text pointing; and individual commentaries on each chant that will highlight significant details for interpretation.

Lastly, a demonstration recording of twelve chants from Canticum Novum will be available (CD-821). This disc will provide a very helpful model (by St. John’s Gregorian Chant Schola) of singing these chants, while also representing the broad range of chants in the complete collection—easy to moderately difficult, long and short, some psalm verses in Latin, others in English.
