Is there such thing as Gregorian chant that is distinctly separate from the Catholic Church?

As in, it was composed and recorded within another sect or denomination?

Does anyone know where to find more of this album?

It's by Marcel Peres in 1992. There is used to be a 2 hour version of this on Youtube with more songs not included here, but I can't find it. I looked for it everywhere and it's not on their official Youtube channel. It's the most beautiful music I've ever heard and it doesn't even have music in it.

Request: Corde Natus Ex Parentis, in the style of Jesu Dulci Memoria

This is a weird request. I love Corde Natus Ex Parentis, but I heard an arrangement once, years ago, where it was arranged in a mysterious style reminescent of the "Jesu Dulci Memoria" I have linked here. Actually, it was part of an arrangement where each verse was done in a different style of harmony, progressing through musical history.

I obviously don't have the musical vocabulary to describe exactly what I'm asking for. I'm hoping someone can read my mind, and tell me what I'm looking for.

Can someone tell me the original chant used in this anime (Ergo Proxy) soundtrack?

Hello everyone, recently I've been doing some researches in order to find out what is the original version of the gregorian chant used in the soundtrack of the anime Ergo Proxy (2006), composed by Ike Yoshihiro.

The track in question is "New Pulse" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RyDuyjgd2Q). The chant sings two distinct melodies, the first one is clearly from Kyrie Eleison, but I haven't been able to identify the second one (starting at 01:26 and repeated at 02:00). I don't know if this could be helpful to identify it, but I've tried to play it with Ableton's VoiceBox and notes seem to be D#, G, F, A#, G#, G, F (in this order).

One more thing: when I tried to look for any clues on Shazam, it recognized New Pulse as the song "Possibilities" by Blue Nomad. The song has the exact two melodies used in the soundtrack sang with a gregorian chant. My guess is that Blue Nomad sampled New Pulse, but since I couldn't find any info about the song release date, I can't tell for sure.

Do you think it comes from an existing chant? Or could it be an addition made by the composer? Thank you for your time and help!

Interesting Spanish 17th century Introit out of the Common of Doctors of the Church

Hello, This incomplete hymn (In medio Ecclesiae cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/In_medio_Ecclesiae) is the introit of The Common of Doctors of the Church. I wonder what that actually is. Also there are three versions by Dufay, Anonymous and Briccio. What version is this (see link)? Thanks in advance, JH

Info requested

This has been in my family for over fifty years . It’s framed and the text and music seem to be written on skin, not parchment. Any ideas about this ? I wonder where it came from and what chant it is . Thanks

Do you think that music on this Youtube account is AI-generated? Is it even possible? I just cannot find who was singing it or where.

Looking for a song

There’s a song I’m looking for, one my dad and I used to listen to together but have now both forgotten the name of. All I can remember is that it had verses of Gregorian chanting and a chorus with a female singer. The lyrics I think had “the morning the sun stood still” and “when I’m with you my love.” I’ve included my best rendition of the song, if I can find it it would really satisfy this itch please help me. I want to reconnect with my dad through this song.

if I recall correctly it had something to do with "sola fide" Please help me find this song!

Anyone able to drop some knowledge on this?

My wife and I have attempted to translate the verses but we’d love to know what country, hymn book, year, and any other info ya’ll might have to help us further research this?

Translations: (you have heard because it was said to the ancients) "You shall not kill, but he who kills shall be guilty of judgment.”

"Then if you offer your gift at the altar and you are reminded there that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go first to be reconciled to your brother and then come and offer your gift, alleluia"

"When there was a great crowd with Jesus"

Thank you, all!

Looking for a song I sang in choir...

I saw another user asking recently and I thought I should see if you guys can help me figure out a song I sang in choir years ago. I remember the phonetics (not sure if the v/w is a v or a w because I remember we pronounced it as a combination of the 2 sounds).

The first line was something like this: Wo idili wodi isegami wo

I've been trying to figure this out for years, hope someone knows what I'm talking about!

Looking for a song I sung in choir

Hello all, You're my last effort really to find a song I sung in my college choir.

I can only recall the 'phonetics' of a portion of the song:

'You be latte deo'

  • this would repeat twice, then we sang

'Alleluia'

  • we'd kind of pause and dance on each syllable

I recall my teacher, a great guy named Mr Probst, said it was a medieval chant? Gregorian song?

I know it's a stab in the dark but if you can help me find it, I'd be very grateful 🙏.

Is there a daily roman gradual in English?

I can't tell you how many times I've been misled by seeing an article that claims the "entire Roman Gradual is now in English" only to find out it's yet another setting for Sundays and Solemnities only. I understand chants from Sundays are reused during the week, but these collections leave out:

-Lenten weekday propers,

-Memorials for saints

-Commons

-Ritual and Votive masses, Masses for various needs, etc.

I want to be clear: I'm not a music director and I'm not necessarily looking for musical settings. I'm mostly looking for an English translation for personal devotion.

How would someone go about learning to sing Gregorian chants?

I had basic recorder and choir lessons in elementary school, but I don't think I remember anything other than the teacher classifying me as mezzo-soprano. Local churches here sing in local language, spanish. Thank you.
