Feast of the Annunciation
Today is the Feast of the Annunciation
The Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth:
From Biber's Rosary Sonatas, The First Joyful Mystery: The Annunciation
"Inviolata, integra, et casta es Maria"
Today's communion chant: Ecce Virgo Concipiet. From Isaiah 7:14, "Behold a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and his name shall be called Emmanuel."

Assumpta Es Maria In Caelum
A few days ago on Sunday was the Feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. Planty of information about it at ChurchYear.Net. Better late than never, I honor the day by posting a little Gregorian Chant for the Feast.
The official book of music for Mass is the Roman Gradual but there is a lesser known book, also official, that is meant for smaller churches that might find the more complicated melodies in the Roman Gradual to be too difficult. It's called the Gruaduale Simplex or Simple Gradual and an example can be viewed below. This is the introit or entrance antiphon from the Graduale Simplex, Assumpta Es Maria In Caelum:
Many of the antiphons in the Graduale Simplex were adapted from the Divine Office so anyone fortunate to sing the Liturgy of the Hours for the day might have sung this same melody.

Friday of Sorrows
At Sub Tuum blog Br. Stephen points out that today is the commemoration of Our Lady of Sorrows on the calendar of the Extroardinary Form. That's no longer the case in the modern Roman Rite (Ordinary Form), it is commemorated on September 15, but in my family we still call today Viernes de Dolores or "Friday of Sorrows". Appearantly traditions are still observed on this day in some places such as this procession in Huelva, Spain.

The Feast of the Annunciation
Today is the the Feast of the Annunciation. A bit about today’s holy day from ChurchYear.Net.
All About the Solemnity of the Annunciation
Some of the chants for today’s Mass are the same as those for the 4th Sunday of Advent. Among them, the Introit, or entrance chant, Rorate Caeli:
The antiphon and psalm verse are taken from Isaiah 45:8 and Psalm 18 (Vulgate numbering):
“Skies, let the Just One come forth like the dew, let him descend
from the clouds like the rain. The earth will open up and give
birth to our Saviour. V. The heavens declare the glory of God, and
the firmament proclaims the work of his hands.”
The Communion, or communion chant, Ecce Virgo:
The antiphon is also from the Book of Isaiah, Chapter 7, Verse 14:
“Behold, a Virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and his name
shall be called Emmanuel.”
This recording also adds the corresponding verse from Psalm 18 (“The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament proclaims the work of his hand”, same as in the introit).
