Title: Seeking Rorate Caeli chant organ music
Post by: Matthew on November 29, 2024, 07:26:53 PM: Does anyone have a sheet, a scan, anything, of "Rorate Caeli Desuper" (chant) in Modern Notation? So an organist could accompany this beautiful hymn?

I'm having trouble finding it. We have the manpower to sing it (well) but our organist(s) can't play right from Chant notation. They need the regular Modern Notation.

My husband found it in the The Pius X Hymnal, but it only has the 1st and 4th verses from the Liber Usualis.

I am sorry in advance if they come out sideways.

Honestly that looks just fine. And often chant in modern notation looks terrible.

Post by: Matthew on December 01, 2024, 08:47:14 PM: Thank you everyone for your help. Now we can learn the organ accompaniment for that great hymn.

And hopefully it will help others looking for the same thing, over the coming decades.
