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.
