Gregorian Chant: A Textbook For Seminaries, Novitiates And Secondary Schools is a comprehensive guide to the study and practice of Gregorian chant, a form of sacred music that has been used in the Catholic Church for over a thousand years. Written by Andrew F. Klarmann, a professor of music and liturgy, this textbook is designed for use in seminaries, novitiates, and secondary schools.The book begins with an overview of the history and development of Gregorian chant, including its origins in ancient Jewish and Christian liturgical music. It then delves into the theory and practice of chant, covering topics such as notation, rhythm, modes, and psalmody. The book also includes a section on the performance of chant, with practical advice on singing technique, interpretation, and the use of accompaniment.Throughout the book, Klarmann emphasizes the spiritual and theological significance of Gregorian chant, highlighting its role in the liturgy as a means of expressing praise, prayer, and contemplation. He also provides numerous examples of chant, both in musical notation and in text, allowing readers to practice and study the music themselves.Overall, Gregorian Chant: A Textbook For Seminaries, Novitiates And Secondary Schools is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study and performance of this ancient and beautiful form of sacred music.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
