Pray the Holy Rosary in the ancient musical language of the Church.
The Holy Rosary in Chant (Sanctissimum Rosarium in Cantu) is a compact prayer book for Catholics who want to pray—and sing—the Rosary using traditional Gregorian chant.
Designed for personal prayer, families, pilgrimages, processions, parish gatherings, and group devotion, this expanded edition brings together the Latin prayers of the traditional fifteen-decade Rosary with a rich collection of authentic chant settings.
This Second Edition contains more than twice the material of the original edition and provides everything needed to sing the Rosary from beginning to end.
Readers will find:
- Two chant settings of the Apostles’ Creed
- Latin announcements for all 15 traditional mysteries of the Rosary
- Psalm tones in all eight Gregorian modes
- The Tonus Peregrinus and Tonus in Directum
- Multiple settings of the Pater Noster, Ave Maria, and Gloria Patri
- The traditional Chartres Ave Maria
- Four settings of the Salve Regina: Simple, Solemn, Monastic, and Dominican
- Gregorian antiphons for each of the 15 mysteries
- The great hymn from the Divine Office for the Feast of the Most Holy Rosary
- The Litany of Loreto in chant
- The Fatima Prayer in three Latin versions, arranged in all eight psalm tones
- Everything necessary for a completely sung Rosary
The variety of chant settings makes the book useful for both beginners and experienced singers. Simpler melodies provide an accessible starting point, while the additional modes and settings allow for a richer and more traditional chant experience.
The antiphons provided for each mystery can also be sung in place of simply announcing the mystery, giving the Rosary a more solemn, contemplative, and distinctly Catholic character.
At a convenient 5" × 7" size, this paperback is easy to carry on pilgrimage, bring to a parish Rosary, keep in the car, or use for family prayer at home.
The Holy Rosary in Chant is an excellent resource for Catholics who want to combine one of the Church’s most beloved devotions with the beauty of Gregorian chant.
