An English Gradual
The Abbey of Belmont, England, has recently published an English Gradual, a collection of simple chants in English for singing at the Mass. It is mainly the work of Abbot Alan Rees, who died a few years ago. During his life he did much to help the singing of the Mass and the Divine Office in English, and a number of monastic communities already use his compositions. This book is a compilation of chants for singing at the entry, the offertory and at Communion, with half-adozen simple Ordinaries to go with them. These lovely melodies of Abbot Alan are easy to sing, and, once sung, easy to remember. A CD will soon be available with a selection of these chants. The book is available directly from the Abbey of Belmont at a cost of £6 (7 euros, $10).
