Nina teaches the Graduale Simplex
In the last video, Paul and Nina mentioned that the Gradaule Simplex is not a half-measure but a full legitimate part of the music tradition of the Roman Rite.
In this video they break down the Graduale Simplex and show us what it would be like to sing an antiphon from the Graduale Simplex in Mass.

07:26 How Nina helps her schola read. Step 1: Find "Do"
08:14 The little bracket on the left shows you where to find "Do."
08:56 Paul demonstrates the line of chant.
09:03 The fun thing is is that "Do" can be any note.
09:22 Sing the line with solfege first. Then add the lyrics.
10:03 There is a simple way to harmonize these antiphons.
11:20 Paul and Nina sing the offertorio chant for us.
11:49 How you might treat this antiphon when singing it in Mass.
12:08 Difference between a responsorial Psalm and antiphons.
12:28 The Psalm tones attached to these antiphons are the same as the tones in the Liturgy of the Hours.
13:02 So if you listen to Sing the Hours, you will recognize these antiphon tones.
13:41 Because there are only 8 selections in the Graduale Simplex, these tones are easy for a congregation to acquire.
14:13 On the front of the book, it says for use in small churches.
14:53 How to find the English settings for these chants.
15:08 Abbey Psalms and Canticles - a good source for English settings.
16:02 The Graduale Simplex is steeped in the Psalms.
16:49 But really, how do you find the English?
17:45 Careful, the Psalm numbering is different!
18:03 Chanting the Psalm in English
18:37 What's special about these antiphons is they're great for daily Mass.
19:22 It's great for a Sunday Mass or daily Mass!
19:56 Offertory antiphon is meant to be a preparation for the Eucharist.
20:30 Nina's favorite
21:29 Careful! The "bracket" showing you where "Do" is no longer does that for this one!"
21:36 "Fa" clef. Don't get scared now.
22:21 Communion Chant Example
22:39 Couple of notes on this chant.
22:46 Why Paul joins in after the star. What is the star? WHY is the star?
23:21 A legitimate question.
23:50 Questions soaked in humility.
24:43 How Nina implements harmony for a chant like this.

33:47 Offertorio: "Beati omnes qui timent Dominum"
35:56 Why incense? Why fear? Let's check the Old Testament.
