The CMAA is very pleased to make available this Graduale Romanum for the classical form of the Roman Rite, applicable to the 1962 Missal. The scans are top quality without sacrificing speed, 600 dpi. They were done by expert professionals and so they are far superior not only to other chant images online but even better than the original because the backgrounds are clean and pure white.
The image you see above was done from a quick open PDF page within Photoshop.
So attention all choirs singing the classical form of the Roman Rite (Tridentine Mass): this is your songbook. Please print, copy, or otherwise use as you see fit. For new rite singers, see the index in the same spot and find your chant in the PDF. All of these are permanently archived at the CMAA.
