INTRODUCTION In order to discover which elements of the liturgy are best adapted to the building of the people of God, the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy emphasizes the need for controlled experi.. mentation during the period immediately before us. The Con.. stitution also urges us to preserve the treasures of the past, espe.. cially in the field of sacred music. This setting of the English Propers is an effort to satisfy both directives of the Constitution. Although it makes use of the Gregorian chant melodies traditionally heard in the Church, the principles for psalm recitation are those developed through centuries of experience by our English..speaking Christian brethren of other faiths. The simpler antiphonal chant melodies, found most often in the divine office, have been adapted to various texts in the same manner in which the authors of chant themselves adapted a single melody to serve several texts. The psalmody used was devised for the English language with its peculiarities of accent. This system of psalmody can be used with any unrevised translation of the psalms. In the interim period before the general revision of the liturgy, this book should prove useful, inspiring the faithful to a greater love of God through the liturgy and psalter, and providing some of the experience and experimentation necessary before a truly effective setting can be made for the English liturgy in a more developed state. 7
