About This Book

The Liber Usualis is a liturgical book of commonly used Gregorian chants in the Catholic tradition, compiled by the monks of the Abbey of Solesmes in France and first published in 1898. It gathered between two covers the ordinary and proper chants from the Kyriale and Graduale needed for Masses of Sunday and important Holy Days; those for Vespers from the Antiphonale; and Matins of Christmas, Holy Week and the Office of the Dead from the Nocturnale. Its most important omissions are the chants for the weekdays of Lent and the Ember Days.
