A liturgical book , or service book , is a book published by the authority of a church body that contains the text and directions for the liturgy of its official religious services .
88-498: An antiphonary or antiphonal is one of the liturgical books intended for use in choro (i.e. in the liturgical choir ), and originally characterized, as its name implies, by the assignment to it principally of the antiphons used in various parts of the Latin liturgical rites . Medieval antiphonaries varied with regional liturgical tradition. In 1570, following the Council of Trent ,
176-690: A "missal", "ritual", and "Holy Week book" (Cairo, 1898–1902). The Ethiopian service books are, with the exception of the Eucharistic Liturgy (the Missal), the least known of any. Hardly anything of them has been published, and no one seems yet to have made a systematic investigation of liturgical manuscripts in Abyssinia. Since the Ethiopic or Ge'ez Rite is derived from the Coptic, their books correspond more or less to
264-565: A Breviary, was published at Mosul in seven volumes (1886–96), the ferial office alone at Rome in 1853, and at Sharfi in the Lebanon (1898). A Ritual – "Book of Ceremony" – for the Syrian Uniats is issued by the Jesuits at Beirut. The Maronites have an abundance of liturgical books for their divine liturgy. The Maronite Synod at Deir al-Luweize (1736) committed a uniform preparation of all their books to
352-478: A coherent and well-ordered whole. This does not necessarily imply that the musical centonization of the melodies was the special and original work of the Saint, as the practice of constructing new melodies from separate portions of older ones had already been in vogue two or three centuries earlier than his day. But is it clear that the cento was one of melodies as well as of texts? In answer it might indeed by said that in
440-664: A copy of the precious antiphonary, and founded at Canterbury a flourishing school of singing. A decree of the Second Council of Cloveshoo (747) directing that the celebration of the feasts, in respect to baptism, Masses and music ( in cantilenæ modo ), should follow the method of the book "which we received from the Roman Church". That this book was the Gregorian antiphonary is clear from the testimony of Egbert, Bishop of York (732-766), who in his De Institutione Catholica speaks of
528-488: A daily basis, but according to need. The fixed portions of the services are called acolouthia ( Greek : ἀκολουθίες , akolouthies ; последование posledovanie ), into which the sequences (changeable portions) are inserted. The sequences can also be referred to as propers . The sequences are governed by the convergence of several liturgical cycles, including the Paschal Cycle (movable cycle, dependent upon
616-699: A great number of times; the latest Orthodox editions are those of Constantinople and Jerusalem, the Catholic ones have been issued at Rome, Vienna, and especially Venice (at the Monastery of San Lazaro). There are many extracts from them, especially from the Liturgy. Martin Luther was in favor of preserving the Mass of the Church and, other than translating it into the vernacular language of
704-579: A more expansively Catholic context in which to celebrate the liturgical use found in the BCP and related liturgical books. John Wesley , the Anglican priest who was a principal leader of the early Methodist revival, wrote that there is no Liturgy in the world, either in ancient or modern language, which breathes more of a solid, scriptural, rational piety, than the Common Prayer of the Church of England. When
792-502: A musical notation, had never been committed to writing. What made his antiphonary so very useful to chanters (as John the Deacon esteemed it) was probably his careful presentation of a revised text with a revised melody, written either in the characters used by the ancient authors (as set down in Boethius ) or in neumatic notation. St. Augustine , sent to England by St. Gregory, carried with him

The books of the Church of the East , all in Syriac , are: Naturally not every church possesses this varied collection of books. The most necessary ones are printed by the Anglican missionaries at Urmi for the " Nestorian " Christians. The Chaldean Catholic books are printed, some at Propaganda, some by the Dominicans at Mosul ("Missale chaldaicum", 1845; "Manuale Sacerdotum", 1858; "Breviarium chaldaicum", 1865).

In Greek the Orthodox books are published at the Phœnix Press (formerly located in Venice , now at Patras ), the Uniate books are published by the Congregation for the Oriental Churches . Each national Church has further its own editions in its liturgical language. There are also books of all kinds which collect and arrange materials from the list of books above into compendiums by various editors. The Uniate compendiums have
1144-501: A volume containing chants; it was also called "Graduale", because the chanter stood on a step ( gradus ) of the ambo or pulpit, while singing the response after the Epistle. Other ancient names for the antiphonary seem to have been Liber Officialis (Office Book) and "Capitulare" (a term sometimes used for the book containing the Epistles and Gospels). Changes in the antiphonary were made in
1232-479: A whole. A fragment of the liturgy was published in Syriac and Latin at Antwerp (1572) by Fabricius Boderianus (D. Seven alexandrini ... de ritibus baptismi et sacræ Synaxis). The Syrian Catholics have a Euchologion (Syriac and Karshuni), published at Rome in 1843 (Missale Syriacum), and a "Book of clerks used in the ecclesiastical ministries" (Liber ministerii, Syriac only, Beirut, 1888). The Divine Office, collected like
1320-519: Is almost entirely syllabic , probably because of the length of the text, and consists of a great deal of repetition of melodic formulas . In polyphonic settings of the Mass, the Credo is usually the longest movement, but is usually set more homophonically than other movements, probably because the length of the text demanded a more syllabic approach, as was seen with chant as well. A few composers (notably Heinrich Isaac ) have set Credos independently from
1408-530: Is intoned by the celebrant alone ( Credo in unum Deum ), or by a soloist, while the choir or congregation joins in with the second line. This tradition continued through the Middle Ages and Renaissance , and is even followed in more recent settings. In Stravinsky 's Mass , for example, a soloist intones the first line, which is from the plainchant Credo I. In Mass settings of the Baroque, Classical and Romantic period
1496-592: Is placed immediately with the texts of the Lessons. In order to show as clearly as possible the exact position of the antiphonary amongst the liturgical books, it is proper to recall that the Roman Missal contains all the texts used at Mass; the Roman Breviary , all the texts used in the Divine Office or Canonical Hours. While in the Missal, the introits , graduals , tracts , sequences , offertories, communions, as well as

The remainder they divide into two parts: the one containing the responsories is called 'Responsoriale'; while the other, containing antiphons, is called 'Antiphonarius'.

The word "cantatory" explains itself as
1672-501: Is true, also, that the chants used at Milan were styled, in honour of St. Ambrose (called the "Father of Church Song"), the Ambrosian Chant . But it is not known whether any collection of the chants had been made before that of St. Gregory, concerning which his ninth-century biographer, John the Deacon , wrote: Antiphonarium centonem … compilavit . The authentic antiphonary mentioned by the biographer has not as yet been found. What
1760-552: The Liber Usualis was apparently widely considered the only authentic Credo, and it is the element of the ordinary that was most strongly associated with a single melody. The Liber Usualis contains only two other settings, designated as "Credo V" and "Credo VI," which is far fewer than for other settings of the Ordinary. In musical settings of the Credo, as in the Gloria , the first line
1848-690: The Anglican Missal was published, to provide a particular way, drawn from the Sarum Use , of celebrating the Eucharist according to Anglican liturgical tradition. Many Anglo-Catholic parishes use the Anglican Missal , or some variation of it such as the English Missal , for the celebration of the Eucharist. Variations include the Anglican Service Book and A Manual of Anglo-Catholic Devotion , and

#17328524566821936-554: The Apostles' Creed are the primary creeds used for this purpose. After the formulation of the Nicene Creed , its initial liturgical use was in baptism , which explains why the text uses the singular "I ..." instead of "we ...". The text was gradually incorporated into the liturgies, first in the east and in Spain, and gradually into the north, from the sixth to the ninth centuries. In 1014 it
2024-568: The Coptic Catholic Church by Raphael Tuki, and printed at Rome in the eighteenth century. Their arrangement is obviously an imitation of that of the Latin service-books ( Missale coptice et arabice , 1736; Diurnum alexandrinum copto-arabicum , 1750; Pontificale et Euchologium , 1761, 1762; Rituale coptice et arabice , 1763; Theotokia , 1764). Cyril II, the Uniate Coptic patriarch, published
2112-504: The Counter-Reformation , resulting from the reform of the Roman Breviary ordered by the Council of Trent and carried out under Pius V . The term antiphonarium, printed as a title to many volumes of the early modern period, is made to cover a very varied selection from the complete antiphonary. Sometimes it means practically a "Vesperale" (sometimes with Terce added; sometimes with various processional chants and blessings taken from
2200-707: The Gospel Book or Evangeliary . The Catholic Church is composed of 24 autonomous particular churches , the largest of which is the Latin Church . The other 23 churches are collectively called the Eastern Catholic Churches; Eastern Catholic liturgy encompasses the Alexandrian Rite , Antiochene Rite , Armenian Rite , Byzantine Rite , and the East Syriac Rite among others. While the Roman Rite of
2288-872: The Methodists in America were separated from the Church of England because of the American Revolution, John Wesley himself provided a revised version of the Book of Common Prayer called the Sunday Service of the Methodists in North America . Wesley's Sunday Service has shaped the official liturgies of the Methodists ever since. For this reason, Methodist liturgy is decidedly Anglican in its character, though Methodists have generally allowed for more flexibility and freedom in how
2376-454: The Roman Rite antiphonary was declared universal. The Roman Antiphonary ( Antiphonale Romanum ) contains the chants for the canonical hours for the hours of Lauds , Prime , Terce , Sext , None , Vespers and Compline for every day of the year. The Vesperale Romanum is an excerpt of the Antiphonary containing the chants sung at Vespers. The music for use at the Mass is contained in
2464-678: The Synaksãr , containing legends of saints; the "Deacon's Manual"; an Antiphonary (called Difnãri ); the Psalter, Theotokia (containing offices of the Virgin Mary); Doxologia; collections of hymns for the choir and a number of smaller books for the various other offices. The Coptic Orthodox Church has a very sumptuously printed set of their books, edited by Gladios Labib, published at Cairo ( Katamãrus , 1900–1902; Euchologion , 1904; Funeral Service , 1905). These books were first grouped and arranged for
2552-685: The "Antiphonarium" (in a very restricted sense), the "Psalterium", the "Hymnarium", the "Responsoriale". The Office of Matins was divided into the other two volumes, one of which contained the invitatories, antiphons, hymns, etc., of Matins for the Proprium de Tempore (Proper of the Season), and the other, for the Commune Sanctorum ( Common Office of the Saints) and the Proprium Sanctorum ( Proper Office of
2640-399: The "Antiphonarium" and "Missale" which the "blessed Gregory … sent to us by our teacher, blessed Augustine". It is impossible to trace here the progress of the Gregorian antiphonary throughout Europe, which resulted finally in the fact that the liturgy of Western Europe , with a very few exceptions, finds itself based fundamentally on the work of St. Gregory, whose labour comprised not merely

The Coptic Books (in Coptic with Arabic rubrics , and generally with the text transliterated in Arabic characters too) are the Euchologion ( Kitãb al-Khulagi almuqaddas ), very often (but quite wrongly) called Missal. This corresponds to the Byzantine Euchologion. The Coptic equivalent of the Horologion is the Agpeya . Then the Lectionary called Katamãrus ;

2816-414: The "Processionale" and "Rituale"). These volumes meet the local usages in certain dioceses with respect to Church services, and offer a practical manual for the worshipper, excluding portions of the Divine Office not sung in choir in some places and including those portions which are sung. (See also names of Antiphonaries, as Armagh, Antiphonary of Bangor etc.) In the second half of the 19th century, there
2904-568: The "birthday" feasts of the apostles and evangelists (including the feasts of St. Peter's Chair and of St. Barnabas). It is recited in the Orthodox Liturgy following the Litany of Supplication on all occasions. Probably because of its late adoption, and the length of the text (the longest in the Ordinary of the Mass ), there are relatively few chant settings of it. What is identified as "Credo I" in
2992-516: The 19th century, started introducing the Roman liturgy into that country, sixty out of eighty dioceses had their own local breviaries. That the word antiphonarium is, or was, quite elastic in its application, is shown by the remark of Amalarius in his Liber de ordine Antiphonarii , written in the first half of the 9th century. The work which in Metz was called "Antiphonarius" was divided into three in Rome: "What we call 'Graduale' they style 'Cantatorius'; and this, in accordance with their ancient custom,

Presbyterianism's first liturgical book is the Book of Common Order , which was written by the denomination's founder, John Knox . The book was published first in Geneva in 1556 under the title Forme of Prayers and was written for use by that city's English Reformed congregation. In 1562 it
3168-419: The Blessing of the Font, etc.). The omitted chants (styled concentus ), which are to be sung by the choir, are contained in a supplementary volume called the "Graduale" or "Liber Gradualis" (anciently the "Gradale"). In like manner, the Roman Breviary, practically entirely meant for singing in choro, contains no music; and the "Antiphonarium" performs for it a service similar to that of the "Liber Gradualis" for
3256-495: The Coptic books. Peter the Ethiopian (Petrus Ethyops) published the Liturgy with the baptism service and some blessings at the end of his edition of the Ethiopic New Testament (Tasfa Sion, Rome, 1548). Various students have published fragments of the Rite in Europe (cf. Chaine, "Grammaire éthiopienne", Beirut, 1907; bibliography, p. 269), but these can hardly be called service-books. The Syriac Orthodox (Jacobite) and Catholic-Syrian liturgical books have never been published as

The melody of Credo I first appears in eleventh-century manuscripts, but it is believed to be much older, and perhaps Greek in origin. It
3432-439: The Decree of the Sacred Congregation of Rites (8 January 1904). Pope Pius X rejected the Ratisbon edition and ordered the creation of a new Vatican edition, in which both the texts and the melodies were to be revised in order to bring them into conformity with the results of recent palaeographic studies in Gregorian chant. The Ratisbon editions were replaced with the Vatican edition of 1912 The Antiphonale monasticum (1934)
3520-567: The Great is traditionally considered to have revised and collected the various texts and chants of the liturgy, giving rise to the term " Gregorian Chant " for liturgical plainsong melodies. The Gregorian Antiphonary , and the supplemental Antiphonarium Missae , left an enduring influence on the Roman liturgy. Earlier popes had given, a medieval writer assures us, attention to the chants; and he specifies St. Damasus (d. 384), St. Leo (d. 461), St. Gelasius (d. 496), St. Symmachus (d. 514), St. John I (d. 526) and Boniface II (d. 532). It
3608-486: The Hours may be published in a single-volume breviary , such a feat is hardly possible for the Byzantine Rite, which requires quite a large library of books to chant the daily services. The regular services chanted in the Constantinopolitan liturgical tradition are the Canonical Hours and the Divine Liturgy . There are, in addition, occasional services ( baptism , confession , etc.) and intercessory or devotional services ( molieben , panikhida ), which are not chanted on

3696-401: The Hours . With the 1969 reform of the Roman Missal by Pope Paul VI , now called the "Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite", the selection of Scriptural readings was expanded considerably and thus required a new book called the Lectionary . The Roman Ritual contains the texts for administering some sacraments other than the Mass such as baptism , the sacrament of penance , the anointing of
3784-427: The Latin antiphonarium, antiphonarius, antiphonarius liber, antiphonale , which came from the Greek antíphonon "antiphone, anthem". In current usage, Antiphonary refers more narrowly to books containing the chants for the Divine Office in distinction to the Gradual ( Graduale or more rarely antiphonarium Missarum ), which contains the antiphons used for the Mass. The Antiphonary thus included generically
3872-419: The Latin Church is by far the most common liturgical rite found within the Latin Church, a number of local Latin liturgical rites and uses also exist. The Rite of Constantinople , observed by the Eastern Orthodox Church and those Eastern Catholic Churches which follow the Byzantine Rite, represents one of the most highly developed liturgical traditions in Christendom. While the Roman Catholic Liturgy of

The "Ferial Office", called Fard, "Burden" or "Duty" (the only one commonly used by the clergy), was issued at Rome in 1890, at Beirut in 1900. The whole Divine Office began to be published at Rome in 1666, but only two volumes of the summer part appeared. A Ritual with various additional prayers
4048-513: The Missal. Just as the "Liber Gradualis" and the "Antiphonarium" are, for the sake of convenience, separated from the Missal and Breviary respectively, so, for the same reason, still further subdivisions have been made of each. The "Antiphonarium" has been issued in a compendious form "for the large number of churches in which the Canonical Hours of the Divine Office are sung only on Sundays and Festivals". This Antiphonarium Romanum compendiose redactum ex editionibus typicis etc., includes, however,
4136-656: The Ratisbon edition. The Ratisbon "Graduale", founded on the Medicean (which gave the chants as abbreviated and changed by Anerio and Suriano), and the "Antiphonarium" (which was based on the Antiphonale of Venice, 1585, with the responsories of Matins based on the Antwerp edition of 1611), would be replaced by the chants as found in the older codices. The so-called " Ratisbon edition" of the Roman antiphonary, entitled Antiphonarium et Psalterium juxta ordinem Breviarii Romani cum cantu sub auspicis Pii IX et Leonis XIII Pontif. Maxim. reformato.

4224-530: The Roman Gradual ( Graduale Romanum ), the chants of the ordinary are also edited as an excerpt from the Gradual, the Kyriale Romanum . The Antiphonale Romanum was substantially revised in 1910–11 in the course of the reform of the Roman Breviary under Pope Pius X , notably restoring authentic Gregorian melodies. For the 1971 " Liturgy of the Hours ", there are two volumes, Antiphonale Romanum II and Liber Hymnarius . Alternative terms for Antiphonary are Antiphonal or Antiphony . The term comes from

Subsequently, under Charlemagne , French monks went to Rome to study the Gregorian tradition there, and some Roman teachers visited France. The interesting story of Ekkehard , concerning two monks, Petrus and Romanus, sent from Rome to teach chant, is not to be taken as historical. But a certain Petrus, according to Notker ,

Part of the revision which, together with Elisagarus , he made in the responsories as against the Roman method, were finally adopted in the Roman antiphonary. In the 12th century, the commission established by St. Bernard to revise the antiphonaries of Citeaux criticized with undue severity
4488-414: The Saints). A brief study of the divisions and arrangement of the Marquess of Bute 's translation into English of the Roman Breviary will make clear from the above description the general character of a complete Roman antiphonary. It is suggested by some that this Ratisbon edition has lost its authentic and official character by virtue of the Motu proprio Tra le sollecitudini (22 November 1903), and

Other English equivalents for antiphonary are antiphonar (still in reputable use) and antiphoner (considered obsolete by some English lexicographers, but still sometimes used in

Another separate volume is the "Vesperal", which contains also the Office of Compline ; and of the "Vesperal" a further compendium has been issued, entitled "Epitome ex Vesperali Romano". Associated somewhat in scope with the "Antiphonarium" is the "Directorium Chorii", which has been described as furnishing

The work of 1549 was the first prayer book to contain the forms of service for daily and Sunday worship in English and to do so within a single volume; it included morning prayer , evening prayer , the Litany , and Holy Communion . The book included the other occasional services in full:

These books are used as

And yet many say that it is scarcely credible that the developed melodies of St. Gregory's time had never possessed
5192-469: The earliest are found in a style of neumatic notation different from that of St. Gall, while the St. Gall manuscripts are derived not directly from the Italian but from the Irish-Anglo-Saxon. It is probable that before the 10th and 11th centuries (at which period the St. Gall notation began to triumph in the German churches) the Irish and English missionaries brought with them the notation of the English antiphonary. It would take too much space to record here

In the " Prioress' Tale " of Chaucer it occurs in the form antiphonere : The word Antiphonary had in the earlier Middle Ages sometimes a more general, sometimes a more restricted meaning. In its present meaning it has also been variously and insufficiently defined as a "Collection of antiphons in the notation of Plain Chant", and as a liturgical book containing the antiphons "and other chants". In its present complete form it contains, in plain-chant notation,

It may be said, then, that these two books receive the names "Antiphonarium" and "Graduale" from the technical name of the most important chants included in them. Fundamentally all the chants, whether of the Mass or of the Divine Office, are sung antiphonally, and might, with etymological propriety, be comprised in the one general musical title of "Antiphonary."

The word antiphonary does not therefore clearly describe

The ELW (as it is called) is also used by a few smaller denominations as well, but is mostly frowned upon by more conservative Lutheran bodies, which use their own versions.
