Of this arrangement, the editor writes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis edition of the Proper of the Mass, which I call \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eThe St. Stephen English Gradual\u003c\/span\u003e, has come about for several reasons. First, the collection of Proper chants traditionally used in the Anglican Catholic liturgy, \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eThe\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eEnglish Gradual\u003c\/span\u003e, Part II, the Proper for the Liturgical Year, as edited by Francis Burgess, is out of print. Second, the texts in \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eThe English Gradual\u003c\/span\u003e are from the English Hymnal and correspond to the British edition of the \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eAnglican Missal\u003c\/span\u003e, which has textual differences with the American edition of the \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eAnglican Missal\u003c\/span\u003e. Third, this edition provides me with the opportunity to present my solutions for several issues that I have with \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eThe English Gradual\u003c\/span\u003e. These issues concern the methodology used in adapting English texts to Gregorian psalm tones that have distinctive Latin textual\/musical characteristics; the sole use of two-part musical phrase structures that disregard the number of text phrases and musical antecedents of the two-part structures; and the frequent appearance of extremely long recitations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003ePurchase of this edition of the Gradual includes rights to unlimited reproduction, so long as it is for use within a single parish or individual choir.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anglican Parishes Association","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52326064881965,"sku":"upe1787936020202","price":32.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0924\/0743\/1469\/files\/st-stephens-english-gradual_1.jpg?v=1787936024","url":"https:\/\/www.northandmuse.shop\/products\/st-stephens-english-gradual","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
