DESCRIPTION:
Nice collection, has layout problems I've been a church musician all my life, and hymnals hold a great fascination for me. I am simultaneously delighted and deeply disappointed with the Adoremus.The Choir edition has two ribbon bookmarks built in; very handy for marking two different places in the book. Most hymns are set in full harmony. There are also plenty of plainsong and Gregorian chants. The front section contains Masses and Ordinaries in Latin and English, which is fascinating to me as a Protestant. The second section contains lots of beautiful Latin hymns and othe. SciTeach said Want Reverent Liturgy?. Bought for our choir director, who predictably ignored it. (Too little happy happy hand clappy or "traditional African tunes" or some such?) Not a single Haugen, Schutte or other profane composer. If you just want beautiful music for Mass, this is it.. Is this a true choir edition? Amazon Customer Question rather than a review - I thought that the choir edition would have the four parts but this only has melody. I putter at the piano and wanted to try to play these using more than one note. Wonderful collection otherwise! (If someone knows of a choir edition, pls post isbn)
Beautifully bound, this hymnal is much more than a collection of hymns. This is the much anticipated new hymnal that will inspire Catholics to want to sing the great sacred music of our heritage. All three sections include Latin and English selections.. Following the general plan in Musicam Sacram, this hymnal consists of three major sections: the Order of the Mass; musical settings for the Ordinary of the Mass; and a selection of about 160 of the most beautiful hymns ever written - for every season of the liturgical year and other feasts and holidays
