Victor records (May 1916)

VICTOR RECORDS _ [Number | Greeting (Hartel) (2) Prayer—Freischiitz Victor Brass Qt | { Venetian Love Song (Canzone amorosa) (Nevin) Victor nk} cee Me 2 G GREGORIAN CHANTS r The efforts of Pius X to reform sacred music in the Catholic Church and revive the use of the Gregorian plain-song, so expressive of the grandeur and simplicity of pure religious emotion, have been the cause of much discussion during the past few years The teaching and proper execution of Gregorian music require something more than the mere § printed score. Oral tradition is also needed, for it alone can teach the right musical accentuation. The Gregorian Congress, therefore, at the instance of Baron Kanzler, decided to avail itself of one of the latest applications of modern science, and to have records taken of the Gregorian Mass for use on the Victor. These records were sent to many Catholic seminaries, colleges, convents and churches of the world, and the Victor is doing, on a large scale, that which the two teachers, Romanus and Peter, did on a small scale in the eighth century. NOTE —It cannot be denied that these Gregorian chant records are somewhat monotonous, except to those specially interested. The average record customer will prefer the concerted numbers listed under “ Sis tinz Choir,” which are remarkably interesting reproductions of a famous body of singers in some noble religious compositions. RECORDS OF THE GREGORIAN HIGH MASS Recorded in St. Peter’s Church on the Centenary of St. Gregorius Magnus. These records were executed under the direction of Mons. Rella, Leader of the Gregorian Chant in the Sistine Chapel. | ge Alleluja ‘‘ Pascha Nostrum ”’ Pupils of the French Seminary|61 109|10/1.00 Comunicazione fatta al Congresso Internazionale Gregoriano (In praise of the Gregorian Records) /n Jtalian Baron Kanzler 71019) 12/1.50 Credo—Part I Sistine Choir| 74004} 12/1.50 Gloria in Excelsis Deo Sistine Choir| 71002)12!1.50 I due Alleluja Sistine Choir 71003) 12/1.50 I due Alleluja Messa di S.
