Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricacies of Latin pronunciation, specifically focusing on the Roman tradition as advocated by the Catholic Church in the early 20th century. It explores the historical evolution of the language, highlighting the influence of various regional dialects and the gradual shift from classical Latin pronunciation. The author provides a comprehensive guide to the correct pronunciation of Latin vowels, consonants, diphthongs, and double vowels, emphasizing the importance of proper articulation for clear and effective communication in both spoken and sung Latin. The book includes phonetic arrangements of liturgical texts, such as the Ordinary of the Mass, Requiem Mass, and hymns, allowing readers to apply the pronunciation rules in a practical context. Furthermore, the book presents official documents and letters from Pope Pius X, Pope Pius XI, and Cardinal Gasparri, underscoring the Church's efforts to promote the adoption of Roman pronunciation for greater liturgical unity and understanding among Catholics worldwide. The author argues that while no single pronunciation perfectly preserves the phonetics of classical Latin, the Roman tradition offers the closest approximation and serves as a unifying force for scholars, teachers, and clergy alike. By illuminating the nuances of Roman Latin pronunciation, this book provides valuable insights into the history and significance of a language that has profoundly shaped Western culture and continues to resonate in the liturgy of the Catholic Church.
