This is an excellent and very usable selection of cantors for use by clergy during the Eucharistic part of the service. It covers all four selections in the Book of Common Prayer, with traditional and contemporary versions sung. It consists of three CDs with a book showing the music and words. It is an easy-to-follow product and one that was highly recommended to me. I, in turn, would definitely recommend this item to any Celebrant who desires to cantor the Eucharist in whatever mode.

I have to chant the Exsultet at the Easter Vigil each year at my church. About six weeks before, I start listening to it on the CD that comes with this book. I listen every time I'm in my car, and I'm in it a lot. By the time I have to chant the Exsultet, I have it committed to memory. What a treasure this resource is to anyone that has to sing the Liturgy!

This is a great source for learning the sacred music/chants of the Episcopal Church. The words and music is provided in the book which also contains 3 pre-recorded Lord, Open Our Lips: Musical Help for Leaders of the LiturgyCDs, so that you can sing along.
