Excerpt from A Collection of Chants for the Daily and Proper Psalms: With an Appendix Containing Chants for the Hymns and Canticles, Miscellaneous Chants, and Arrangements for the Miserere and Gloria Tibi Domine
The chants which follow those set to the Psahs are intended for the Hymns and Canticles, and with the arrangements for the Miserere and the Gloria before the Gospel, are for use in churches where Services are not or cannot be performed. These and the Miscellaneous Chants afford an additional amount of choice, should none of those assigned to the any particular day be approved of. If the whole of the Hymns cannot be sung anthem-wise, it is particularly to be regretted that the Te Deum should ever be sung to a chant; but if this cannot possibly be avoided, perhaps a simple chant, like that suggested in No. 301, would be the least exceptionable substitute for a Service.
The table which follows the chants is intended to enable the Precentor or Choirmaster conveniently to form a second selection for the Daily Psalms, which may be used instead of that given, or alternately with it.
