Come one, come all to http://www.emmanuelpress.us/ to order the latest edition of The Brotherhood Prayer Book. Here is an excerpt from the website on the new Prayer Book:
Quote:
The most noticeable change in the second edition of the Brotherhood Prayer Book is the new music. All of the responsories, antiphons for the Magnificat, invitatories, and the Venite now have their proper Gregorian melodies. The new music has increased the content of the book by about 50%. The second edition also is now in a more convenient size, being roughly the same size as a hymnal. The second edition has marginal page reference to the first edition, so that groups can use both editions together and still avoid confusion. The second edition is also graced by the beautiful liturgical artwork of Mr. Edward Riojas. Introducing sections of the BPB, each of the 26 original drawings combines theology and piety to give the user a fitting focus for prayer. Indices allow the user to find particular Psalm tones, and hymns by their English and Latin names.

    Will this be in the seminary bookstore soon? I know the first edition is. I hope so, or at least available at Symposia!

    The nice thing about The Brotherhood Prayer Book is that the Canticles can be sung to any one of the Gregorian Psalm Tones provided in the Prayer Book. The tones can be sung simply, or there are also more elaborate canticle tones based on each of the Psalm tones.

    At Lutheran Liturgical Prayer Brotherhood you can hear listen to MP3 recordings of the different parts of the Prayer Book. I encourage you to check it out!

    Could you be specific about the setting of the Magnificat in LSB Evening Prayer and what is wrong with it? The body of the text seems to come from the longstanding tradition of Anglican Psalmody in the church. The antiphon, while some have said that it doesn't match up quite well with the text proper (?), is helpful in teaching the psalm to children and the congregation. It is much more accessible/user friendly/easier on the modern ear than the former Magnificat in LW.

    hopefully this book contains a much better setting of the Magnificat than the Service of Evening Prayer in the LSB.

      The Brotherhood Prayer Book does not make any such claims to being better in any way to the LSB. It is not meant to be comparable to the LSB. The Brotherhood Prayer Book is a collection of Psalms and minor prayer services set to Gregorian chant. In fact, there is no setting for the Maginicate outside of it being pointed to be chanted to any number of chant tones.

      People would be mistaken to compare the BPB to LSB. They are different books that have different purposes. Both are wonderful resources for corporate and individual Lutheran prayer.
