I want you for Chorus Breviarii!

Would you like to join Chorus Breviarii? Our postulants immediately become members of Chorus Breviarii. They sing and serve with us, and, God willing, become brothers. Contact us! All men of good will are welcome to rehearsal, where you willll learn how to sing Gregorian chant. It is easy and no previous musical knowledge is assumed. You will also learn what to be in choir and much more, including serving the Mass.
We generally meet for rehearsal on Monday night at 19: please contact us beforehand to be sure about the place.
Although only Catholic males are allowed to perform liturgically and to sing in the sanctuary, all others are invited to sing antiphonally from the choir loft or from the pews.
As soon as you can, you should acquire a copy of the Liber Usualis,
which is the most complete collection of chants for the Mass and the Office. The 1961 (or later) edition  is available here.
You will also need a cassock and a cotta (a.k.a. surplice). I bought mine from from Catholic Supply: I chose the Toomey brand cassock, which turned out to be adequate. One of us bought the Abbey brand cassock and he was not pleased with it because the snaps tore the fabric. I recommend the buttons, if you decide to buy an Abbey casock. It does not make sense to buy a more expensive one. Later, when you become a Brother, you will have the opportunity of ordering made-to-measure cassock and cotta. Bottom line, I recommend the following:

Item #600  RJ Toomey Black Cassock  or  Item #215 Abbey Brand Server Cassock, Black, Button Front

Item #890 RJ Toomey Square Neck Surplice or Item #113 Abbey Brand Square Yoke Surplices

Choose the size according to your height. Catholic Supplies shows the length of the garment: measure yourself from the base of the neck to the floor and subtract three inches.
