GREGORY HYMNAL *** + + + + +Produced by Don Kostuch + + + + +[Transcriber's Notes] +I fondly remember singing from the St. Gregory hymnal in grade school. +Looking down from the choir loft in the back of the church and standing +five feet from the shouting organ pipes that stretched from floor to +ceiling leaves a glorious impression on a ten year old! + +My skill in Latin consists of two years in high school over fifty years +ago. I remember most of the pronunciation, but the precise meanings and +poetic meter is lost on me. I have carefully compared the printed text +with the transcription, but poetic structure may be incorrect. + +My primary goal is to provide a source for singers and musicians who +love the old Latin hymns, as I do. I hope this will help spread the joy +provided by these "Oldies, but goodies." All the text of the lyrics and +other material have been transcribed to this document for research and +indexing. If you can only remember a few words of a hymn, a simple +search should find the full text. + +The Word and PDF version closely approximate the original page layout. + +The HTML version provides the original images of the pages suitable for +printing and immediate use. Contrary to the usual Gutenberg guidelines, +the page numbers are left to provide easy reference to the original +pages. + +The page images are stored as 1100 X 1600 GIF files to minimize file +size and preserve fidelity. On my computer a single sheet page fills an +8.5 by 11 inch sheet by setting the print scaling factor to 75%. A +scaling factor of 40% produces a page the size of the original book (4.3 +X 6.0 inches). Some files are both facing pages because they are read +and sung using both pages. These print in the original size at 40% +scaling in either portrait or landscape format. "Your results may vary." + +Where works span several pages, the text is rendered without interruption +and all the included pages are listed at the end of the work to provide +a search target. + +The image files are named for easy access. N145_P226.gif is the first +page (226) of hymn number 145.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +http://pglaf.org/fundraising.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. |
