"In view of the many new feasts which have come into existence since the publication in 1946 of "The Proper of the Mass" by Msgr. Herman J. Koch, Ph.D., and Rev. Andrew Green, O.S.B., it has become necessary to expand this work in order to bring it up-to-date. At the same time it was decided to make this edition complete in very respect. Thus, not only have the newer, more recently published feasts been included, but also all prescribed Vigils, Votive Masses and simplex feasts, even though some of these added feasts are observed only in certain sections of the United States. A new Liturgical Calendar and two alphabletical indices have also been inserted for the benefit of the organist and choirrmaster. The reader will note, in glancing through the Liturgical Calendar, that there are many instances (especially in the case of Votice Masses) where other sections of the book will have to be referred to for the correct texts of one or more portoins of the Proper. A word of caution must be offered here: : IT IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL THAT THE USER OF THIS VOLUME FOLLOW THE LITURGICAL CANELDAR DAY BY DAY, in order that every part of the Proper be correct! A further perusal of the Liturgical Calendar will also make it apparent that several different feasts may fall on the same day. One or another of these feasts may be celebrated only in a particular diocese, parish or religious community. To determine which of these several feasts is to be observed in the user's case, it will be best to check with the ORDO of the diocese or religious community, or, if that is unavailable, with the Pastor or chaplain. Basically this book is a psalm-tone setting of the Propers, for, with the exception of the Introit and Offertory antiphons, almost all the texts in this volume are so treated. Save for the inclusion of some of the simpler melodies of the Restored Holy Week Liturgy, no new musical themes have been used. All new texts have been set to melodies and psalm-tones already employed in the origial work. The authors, sought to provide an easy, dignified setting of the too-often-neglected INTROIT, GRADUAL, ALLELUIA, TRACT, OFFERTORY AND COMMUNION texts. They surely succeeded in making these chants "easy enough for children to handle with proper training, yet dignified enough to be worthy of a place in the celebration of the Divine Mysteries." - P.J.H., McLaughlin and Reilly Co., from Foreword to the Revised Edition.
