Church hymnal

I find the hymnal very large and awkward.

Home copy for the hymnal we have in the pews

The service and level of detail when ordering from Angelus press is the best you'll find. Ad Jesum per Mariam ⚜️

Great hymnal book

Useful for those who wish to participate more fully in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, to sing the chants and hymns. Takes a bit getting used to because of its weight and width, but with time it should be all right. Overall, happy with the purchase

Outstanding

This Hymnal is certainly something special. I am not a musician but at least know enough that the music contained therein is far superior to what is heard in the novus ordo. It is hoped that it will be put to good use when my home parish returns to Tradition.

Disappointing

My parish has used to First Edition of this hymnal for years, and they were slowly falling apart. I had such high hopes for the Second Edition, unfortunately, I was disappointed. The hymns are in different keys, with different chord progressions, and almost without fail, the alto and bass parts are painful to attempt. The alto parts sometimes even have tritones in them. Additionally, some of the hymns are not appropriate for Catholic hymnal, while others are harder than before. The Second Edition added so many hymns and chants, but still have not added the Solemn Tone 'Te Deum.' Overall, the new hymnal was a major disappointment.
