Although this book is written for a most elite group of musical/liturgical historians of the Catholic church, it is the finest source for the scholarly study of Gregorian Chant in the world, published by the people who are responsible for its rediscovery and revival in the late 19th century. An indispensible guide to the finest musical tradition in the world.

This is a great reference that any musician who is interested in plainchant should have. It is much more informative in many ways than the Liber usualis because of the parallel sources. One thing I wished that it would have included is a complete alphabetical index (that is not separated according to genre or purpose). This book assumes a basic knowledge of the church calendar and church music (which anyone looking for this would probably have).
