St. Gregory Hymnal and Catholic Choir Book Treasury

A newly prepared collection of selected hymns, motets, and anthems from the historic St. Gregory Hymnal tradition, arranged and presented for practical use by today’s Catholic choirs. This Treasury is not a facsimile or reproduction of the original Montani editions.

At times, we intentionally price a printed book as close to our cost as possible. Our mission is to make authentic Catholic sacred music accessible to every choir and parish, not just those with large budgets.

The Standard Paperback Price was $16.

Our New Standard Price for everyone: $7.62

With your order, you will also receive a PDF edition for your organist’s three-ring binder. You may print additional pages as needed when new singers join your choir, until you are ready to order complete books for them.

At $7.62 per copy, it is now practical to put a complete hymnal into the hands of every choir member. Instead of relying on loose sheets and photocopies, your singers can have their own permanent copy for rehearsals and liturgies—and your parish can gradually build a lasting choir library as it grows.

You do not need to belong to a choir to purchase this book, but it sounds to us that you belong in a choir!

Since the 1920's the St. Gregory Hymnal was the standard Catholic choir hymnal in thousands of parishes, schools, seminaries, and convents. Its continued demand more than a century after its publication is a testament to the enduring beauty of its music and its place in America's Catholic musical heritage.

Our St. Gregory Hymnal and Catholic Choirbook Treasury is a historic collection of traditional Catholic hymns and motets, sacred choral works extracted from Nicola A. Montani’s historic St. Gregory Hymnal and Catholic Choir Book.

The music reflects the prayerful and reverent character of traditional Catholic worship. The collection includes music for Lent and Passiontide, Pentecost, devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Holy Eucharist, Benediction, and other important occasions in the Church year.

It includes rare works such as different versions of Stabat Mater, Veni Creator Spiritus, Ave Maria, Adoro te devote, Panis Angelicus, Ave Verum Corpus, and Christus Vincit, most in different versions that are unknown yet beautiful.. The book also features music by composers such as Palestrina, Mozart, Gounod, Michael Haydn, Lorenzo Perosi, and Pietro Yon, together with traditional Catholic melodies.

The music ranges from simple, singable hymns to more developed choral pieces. It is suitable for parish choirs, choir directors, organists, cantors, schools, seminaries, and anyone interested in the Catholic sacred-music tradition.

Every score has been newly engraved in a clear, easy-to-read format and presented on letter-size pages for improved readability. Many selections include both English and original Latin texts, allowing choirs to sing them in either language. Spanish translations are also included to help readers understand the sacred texts.

This practical collection brings treasured Catholic music from the past into a modern edition for worship, rehearsal, study, and enjoyment.
