Book of Chants

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.
