A performance edition of the proper chants from the Feast of Saint Cecilia, according to the Use of York.
Introduction
The Use of York was an adapted form of the traditional Roman Rite. It was ultimately supplanted by the Sarum Rite.
The material within represents select portions of the music for the Divine Office. The music has been edited and prepared in a manner to suit both study and performance. In addition to the musical material, the reader will find critical discussion comparing the music of the Use of York to that of other liturgical traditions.
