This collection provides English translations for the Propers of
the Mass—those portions of the Roman Catholic Mass which change
from day to day throughout the Liturgical Year. Since the Middle
Ages, these texts were set to music in the form of chant, and later
as motets, and sung during the service of the Mass. Many of these
musical works are the standard literature for choirs today and are
regularly performed in concert and worship settings. New settings
of Mass propers continue to be written by major contemporary
composers. Because these settings of Latin texts are often
published without English translations, this collection of more
than 900 propers is a valuable reference for choral directors and
church musicians and is the most comprehensive book of its type.
The proper's liturgical function provides the reader with
information regarding the specific feast day (or days) for which
particular texts were used. This is useful not only as basic
background information but also as a valuable aid to assist in the
artistic interpretation of the musical setting of a text. A listing
of the feast days of the liturgical year is helpful to church
musicians who wish to select music with Latin texts for use in
worship services or as an aid for conductors as they program Latin
sacred music in concert settings.
