Latin Hymns
By Fr Adrian Fortescue
In one volume: the Church's most treasured Latin hymns Collected and translated into English by one of the century's greatest liturgical scholars Vatican II mandated that the Church's "treasury of sacred music is to be preserved and cultivated with great care"-in particular, Gregorian chant and Latin were to retain pride of place. That's the last most Catholics heard of either. But a half-century before Vatican II, the great priest-liturgist Adrian Fortescue was doing for his own parishioners what the Church would later demand. How? By compiling the greatest Latin hymns of the ages - with his own exquisite translations - into one volume, for singing and for meditation. After more than 80 years, it is back in print in a handsome, durable hardcover edition. Hymns in Latin and English for every major liturgical feast, season and theme: Evening Hymns * Advent Hymns * Christmas and Epiphany * Lenten Hymns * Eastertide * Whitsuntide (Pentecost) * The Holy Eucharist * The Blessed Virgin * Other Saints ...plus Compline for Sunday, Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, The Divine Praises and Te Deum Laudamus Music not included.
