The Book of Chants

Bag om The Book of Chants

The Book of Chants by Arthur Foote is a collection of choral music that features a variety of hymns, anthems, and chants. This book is intended for use in religious services, particularly in Christian churches, and includes pieces for various occasions such as Christmas, Easter, and weddings. The music is written for a four-part choir, with parts for soprano, alto, tenor, and bass voices. The pieces range in difficulty from easy to moderately challenging, making them accessible to both amateur and professional choirs. The book also includes helpful notes on performance and pronunciation, as well as a brief introduction to the history of choral music. Overall, The Book of Chants is a valuable resource for any choir director or musician looking to expand their repertoire of religious music.1893. Many of the chants in this collection have been transposed to a lower key; and the traditional endings of some, by which the alto or tenor of the last line have been altered so that those voices have two half-notes instead of a dotted half followed by a quarter. In pointing the words, the intention has been to preserve the sense, and to make the accent, and the stress laid upon certain syllables, come as in reading aloud.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
