This page offers links to sheet music for
     settings I have done of Gospels according to
     the Revised Common Lectionary and using the
     New Revised Standard Version.

     While musically gifted deacons and priests have
     no difficulty chanting from a Gospel Book, others 
     may be helped by practicing with sung gospels 
     like these and paper-clipping them into the
     Gospel Book and chanting from the sheet music.

     For those who feel intimidated by the Gregorian
     notation I use, please don't. If you go to the
     Musical Appendix to The Altar Book, pages 12-14,
     you will find the same tone in modern notation. You
     can learn the tone from those pages and then learn
     the equivalences between the two systems.

     What I generally do is to say that the reciting note
     (the high note you monotone on a lot) is B flat (as
     it is in the Musical Appendix). That makes the note
         

     one lower an A and the next lower a G. A dotted
     square note is equivalent to an open note in the
     modern notation. Once you have learned how the
     tone sounds (maybe from a living teacher), you
     shouldn't find it hard to use these sheets in
     Gregorian notation.

     I have posted audio files to go along with some of
     the sung gospels. I apologize for the quality of my
     voice, but a person could still listen to the audio
     files while following along on the sheet music, and
     in this way learn my way of chanting gospels.

     If you find these settings too "busy" at places,
     you can just ignore a melodic figure and instead
     monotone.
