Book of Sung Gospels
3rd Edition

Use: General
Required Resources: deacon or priest
Language: English

In 1996, CanticaNOVA Publications released its first product - the Book of Sung Gospels (BSG). We believed that a book of chanted Gospel settings was needed to assist those who wanted to add solemnity and grace to special liturgies through the ancient and beautiful tradition of chanting the Gospel during Mass. With hundreds of these books now sold, we believe that our assessment was correct and are very pleased that so many priests and deacons have found this book useful. At every large Vatican Mass, the Gospel is chanted, and the American viewing audience has become quite familiar with this beautiful practice.

The Third Edition of the BSG contains 42 Gospels from the revised Lectionary for Mass (1998-2002). Each text is carefully set to a simple, yet beautiful chant tone, like the ones used at liturgies in Saint Peter's Basilica. Both music and text are presented in large type for ease-of-use during your liturgical celebrations.
