I am interested, very interested, in the history of liturgical music, and looking for online resources. Anyone have a compendium or something to point me to? Not just Baroque, Classical, etc, but Gregorian Chant and earlier as well.
 
a Millenium of Music the Benedictine Tradition, 3-CD set tracing the cevelopment of western music from Gregorian chant through the music of Hildegarde of Bingen, Palestrina, Aichinger, Bach, Scarlatti, Mozart, Beethoven, Shubert, Bruckner, Rossini, Faure, Mesiaen, Somary and Perillo

Amor Artis Chamber Choir, Juhannes Somary, conductor
organ by James Boettshce, Vatican organist
Millennium Festival chorus and orchestra, Yuval Waldman, conductor
with study guide w/lyrics I liner notes
2001

I am sure I got if from a catalog of Benedictine spiritual goods and gifts.

Looks like a great source. I’ll check it out. Anything with either of the Gabrieli’s? Particularly antiphonal orchestra with or without choir or chorus?
 
If you’re interested in scores for choirs check:
cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
There’s all sorts of Church and secular music scores being posted almost daily. Feb 23rd there’s:
Magnificat a 12 (Andrea Gabrieli)

John

God bless
 
It may not be strictly church music but the first 7 or 8 lectures were predominantly the influence of the church and liturgy on the development of western music: How to Listen to and Understand Great Music.

You can find it through the inter-library loan if nothing else and it is well worth the effort. One of the best courses on music I have ever taken and packed with insight on how the church has viewed music in the past and how that led to how we view music today. I cannot recommend it highly enough. It may not look like what you want but from your question I think there is a good chance it is.
