A Fully-Sung Setting of the Traditional Vigil Office. Composed by Andre Gouzes. Sunday Vigil. Sacred. Octavo. 32 pages. GIA Publications #4498. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-4498).Text source: from Celebrating Common Prayer, a Version of the Daily Offices SSF and Liturgie Chorale du Peuple de Dieu.
This music was conceived and composed by André Gouzes, OP, a Dominican priest who has turned the twelfth-century Cistercian abbey of Sylvanes into a modern liturgical and cultural center in the south of France. Borrowing from the unaccompanied four-part singing style of the Eastern rite churches, this music is a premier example of true ritual music. When led by a choir, or a group of competent singers, the predictable harmonic progressions of Fr. Gouzes' music make it readily accessible to the assembly—especially after a brief learning period. This music truly enables the Hours and the Mass to be sung in the fullest sense of the world. Contents: The Preparation • The Blessing Of The Light • Song: O Radiant Light • Psalm Song: Let My Prayer Rise • Opening Prayer • Canticle: In Your Unfailing Love • Collect • Canticle: Jesus Christ Is The Lord • Collect • Proclamation Of The Gospel • Canticle: My Soul Proclaims • Collect • Hymn: We Praise You, O God • The Final Blessing. .
