These historic volumes, one of the modern treasures of sacred music, are finally in print again, beginning with parts I and II, which cover the proper of season, providing the chants for each observance set to English texts with traditional Gregorian melodies and notation. They are useful for modern Catholic parishes and Anglican/Episcopal congregations that use propers of the Church year. They are set by G.H. Palmer and Francis Burgess, and are time tested through many decades of use.
