The “Klein Graduale”

The inestimable Steven van Roode, a brilliant chant resource typesetter and engraver in the Netherlands who has given us Creative Commons chant editions of the post-conciliar Office has launched a new project:

Introducing the Klein Graduale.

The Klein Graduale is an adaptation of the Graduale Simplex in the Dutch language for use in the Dioceses of the Netherlands. You can view the scores for the Advent Season here, and the Christmas season here.

Steven has told me that the parish Bergen op Zoom, the very church where Jacob Obrecht worked, has plans to begin introducing sung propers using this resource and he hopes to post recordings of this online as well.

It is truly wonderful to see what is happening in the chant movement outside of the US. I hope that Steven will keep us informed of all of the exciting happenings in Breda.
