Low Key Accompaniment
to the Vatican Kyriale

Achille P. Bragers

Now back in print, a suitable organ accompaniment book for the Kyriale chants (e.g., the Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Agnus Dei, Ite missa est).

This is a must-have for organists who play for the traditional Roman Mass!

First published in 1937, this organ accompaniment has in modern notation all of the standard Kyriale modes (I - XVIII), the Credo modes I-VI, and the Asperges (including one ad libitum) and Vidi aquam modes.

Featured at the back of the book can be handily found the various responses made during sung Mass (e.g., Dominus vobiscum, for the Preface, the Pater noster, etc.) in both solemn and ferial tone, and even the pontifical blessing as given when a bishop celebrates.

 

And for choirs that are not proficient enough yet to sing the propers of the Requiem Masses a cappelo, Bragers generously provided the accompaniments for their propers and Kyriale and the other funeral functions; i.e.: the entrance of the casket into the church (Subvenite), the in Exsequiis (Miserere) absolution ceremony (Libera me, responses and Benedictus),  and the concluding antiphon, In Paradisum.

Of course what accompaniment manual is complete without supplying some of the ad libitum modes for the Kyriale?  Bragers succeeds here too admirably with cantus ad libitum modes for I - XI of the Kyrie, I - III and more ambrosiano of the Gloria, I - III of the Sanctus and I & II of the Agnus Dei.

 

Throughout the entire book, the organ notation is underscored by the Latin words, hyphenated under each appropriate note (which assists with proper pronunciation of liturgical Latin too).  Fully indexed, all notations and text are in printed in black ink on medium stock paper to ensure durability, while the spacious comb-binding gives the organist easy and quick access.
