Communio: Sing the Mass
This book presents Communion Chants for Sundays and Solemnities, in Latin, with authentic Gregorian melodies from the Graduale Romanum, along with fully notated Psalm verses from the Nova Vulgata text. Psalm verses are set to the corresponding tone for each antiphon, as described in the rubrics for singing the Mass. This book includes information for using the antiphons with the 2011 Roman Missal or with the 1962 Missale Romanum. Edited and engraved by Richard Rice, editor of The Parish Book of Chant.
Communio is available in softcover and hardcover in the CMAA catalog, and in free PDF files for downloading.
In addition, traditional Vulgate verses are found in Versus Psalmorum et Canticorum.
