For many, this is a first step toward giving Gregorian chant 'first place' in the liturgy.

Hundreds of other parishes around the US and throughout the English-speaking world have also reported similar success. I can confirm, through my own work on the ground in an OF parish in transition, that the methods employed in the SEP work. Its aim is to offer an achievable repertoire of proper chants for the Introit, Offertory and Communion, in English, to those who may have never sung propers before, and may be largely unfamiliar with the idiom of liturgical chant. The SEP, as it now commonly called, is a book for the average, volunteer, parish choir or schola. And I am especially thankful to the readership of the New Liturgical Movement for welcoming this offering which is aimed at enacting a shift in the musical orientation of liturgical celebrations in common parish life. I am grateful to Shawn Tribe and Jeffrey Tucker for posting weekly here practice videos of the Simple English Propers, a book of English chant for the Ordinary Form that I composed and edited, and that was published by the Church Music Association of America in the summer of 2011.
