& PONTIFICIA COMMISSIO «ECCLESIA DEI» no399 Rome, 4 December 2008 Mr. Jeffrey Tucker Managing Editor Sacred Music 166 North Gay St., Suite 19 Auburn, AL 36830 USA. Dear Mr. Tucker, We wish to acknowledge receipt of the material which you kindly sent: Psallite Sapienter, The Parish Book of Chant and the Fall 2008 number of Sacred Music. These are high quality publications and we are particularly pleased to note that The Parish Book of Chant may serve both forms of the Roman Rite admirably. This, as you point out, is a very strong point in favor of this attractively presented collection of chants useful for choir and congregation. Indeed, Gregorian chant is the common heritage of all Catholics of the Roman Rite as is effectively indicated by Sacrosanctum Concilium #116. We are sure that Psallite Sapienter will also be a helpful tool for choir directors and organists who must provide appropriate music for the extraordinary form of the Roman Rite. Wishing you and all of your collaborators a Blessed Advent and Christmas season, I remain Sincerely yours in Christ, eed, Vice President
